the `dmesg` command will display the kernel message buffer, which includes messages prior to syslogd starting up. also look in /var/ log/messages
as dmesg can eventually overflow with junk (iptables logging messages, for instance), I've been known to stuff a command like
dmesg > /var/log/dmesg.boot
into /etc/rc.d/rc.local just to keep a copy of the state of dmesg right after boot for later reference.
I believe that at this point init has just started, so that rc.local has not been called yet. But I'll give that a try next time.
