You can use the console scrollback with the Shift-PageUp/PageDown keys. The alternative is the dmesg (8) command which shows the kernel bootup and all the later messages.
I guess the reason that not all the messages don't show in /var/log/messages is that they are generated by the startup scripts not by the kernel.
