21 I am not quite sure if this would work but maybe "showconsole" is what
22 you are looking for?
23
24 % eix showconsole
25 * app-admin/showconsole
26 Available versions: 1.07 ~1.08
27 Installed: none
28 Homepage: http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/
29 Description: small daemon for logging console output during
30 boot
31
32 I'm not sure if it will log messages after boot or not.
