}After you login as root, bring up the console window (cmd-0) while
}in the commandshell.  It has the messages in it.

I'm almost sure I've tried this, but commandshell console, I'm almost sure,
just mimics whats in /dev/oldmsgs... this is NOT a complete representation of
what is printed when the system is booted (i.e. all echos in /etc/*rc* )...
