boot messages overwritten by run level 3 login

It would appear that on May 8, Luciano Miguel Ferreira Rocha did say:

Thanks Luciano, the problem with /var/log/messages would be that While I
saw briefly some warnings the 1st time I booted the new FC1, I have know
idea which starting service to search for and didn't find anything that
looked like an error in the messages file.

Since I didn't see them on subsequent boots, I'm guessing the warnings
didn't matter this time. 

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to try Mathew's suggestion first
though.  Else, I guess I could live with only 5 console screens.
