Are you sure about that? They should be visible for some time, although
that period can be rather short if you boot from an SSD.

The behavior of getty(8) has changed (IIRC since util-linux 2.20), it
now clears the terminal by default which means that the boot messages
disappear as soon as you see the login prompt. To change that, edit
/etc/inittab and start getty with the --noclear option on tty1.
