In addition to what this man page tells you, see if you have a file 
called /var/log/dmesg . Many (all?) distros these days dump the contents 
of the dmesg buffer here during boot/init ... handy because dmesg 
accesses a ring buffer, and later messages may have overwritten the 
boot-time ones you want to see.
