logging bootup messages to textfile?

That's pretty much it. I'm running Debian "unstable" on 2.6.8.1, using the GRUB bootloader because I have XP on the same machine. I notice that there are some error messages in the stream of startup info, but I want to log and print it all so I can examine it more closely. How do I go about doing this?

check files in this directory:

/var/log/

As J wrote you should look in your /var/log files but you often wont get those error messages in your logs. Dunno how to get it to log to a text file, but if you can catch them, you will probably find that they are just inserting module errors. I get a few of them when my machine boots.
