This is kind of brute force but it works.
ee /etc/syslog.conf /* It may be a default, I forget */
make sure the "/dev/console" is uncommented (activated )
rm /var/log/console.log /* delete old log or copy it */
touch /var/log/console.log /*syslog won't write to an non-existent
file*/
reboot -s /* reboot */
ee /var/log/console.log /* there you go, your boot up log */
