Sorry -- I forgot to point out that https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328881 has two workarounds, one being an (unsupported but widely used) bootlogd installation and the other being a way to stop init script processing and get a login prompt during boot that allows you to and see (and scroll back through) boot messages on console.
