Ever wish the startup messages went by just a bit slower so you could read them? Especially in verbose mode? Then dmesg is for you. dmesg displays the contents of the system message buffer, including the startup messages seen in verbose mode. Just open the Terminal, type dmesg | more and see what went flying by on the screen during your verbose-mode boot. Try man dmesg for a bit more information on how it works.
