On my unit, /var/log/messages re-iterates F12. If I want to read it I |
| 11 |
use less, tail, grep in a terminal as root. |

Also note, if you migrate away from the boot console and then come |
| 14 |
back, it may not scrollback at all. If I want to see what boot is |
| 15 |
doing I scroll back immediately before running startx or moving to |
| 16 |
another console. |
