Type "dmesg" at the command line.

Subject: reading boot messages


Hello all,
how can I read the boot messages?  I've had some big problems today
which I'll use other emails for but now when I reboot, suddenly ifconfig
reports a ppp0 and ppp1.  Before I only had a ppp0.  I got some sort of
ppp error with instructions but I can't read it fast enough.  I can't
see it switching to tty1 and dmesg doesn't reveal the information.  Any
help?
