That's what dmesg is for. The only time really when it is necessary to
hear boot messages as they occur, is if you're booting a fresh kernel
you've just built, that may not be configured correctly, (I.E. not
have the necessary ide/sata/scsi/whatever controller included, not have
the root file system included, ETC.), and you need to hear the boot
messages in case of a kernel panic, so that you can review the screen,
and see where things blew-up.
