According to Snob Art Genre:

It is better to use /var/run/dmesg.boot because the kernel buffer will get
filled by messages, slowly replacing the boot messages.

764 [22:26] root@keltia:~# dmesg
15 on pci0.9.0
ncr0: <ncr 53c875 fast20 wide scsi> rev 0x03 int a irq 9 on pci0.11.0
ncr1: <ncr 53c810a fast10 scsi> rev 0x12 int a irq 11 on pci0.12.0
Probing for devices on the ISA bus:
VESA: v2.0, 2048k memory, flags:0x1, mode table:0xf022464e (1000022)
...
See how I've lost the beginning of the boot messages ?
