Where are the startup messages logged?

[Detlef Lechner]

Hello,

Where can I find the startup messages logged, e. g. "Setting up console
font and key map [OK]"? dmesg and syslog log only the messages "console:
colour dummy device 80x25; console [tty0] enabled; Console: switching to
colour frame buffer device 160x50."
/etc/default/bootlogd includes an entry 'BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes'

Regards,
