Yes, while I agree that parts of the boot up messages can be found in various
places in a more permanent form, the only place that has them /all/ in the
exact /sequence/ is the console. If something goes wrong, it's worth looking
here /first/ because it's the last chance you get. As soon as you look
elsewhere, the complete console record has gone for ever (until you reboot).
