You can review most (though not all) of this output with the 'dmesg'
command, which displays the kernel ring message buffer.  This is
replaced over time with more output, the boot-time buffer is in
/var/log/dmesg

There is some output, mostly associate with module loading, that's not
logged.  There has been some discussion of ways to capture this data to
screen, but I don't know the current status of this.
