I've also thought about it, but it's really hard to accomplish.  Your
only chance is to store all the messages somewhere in Real Memory (and
how it will fit), until the file systems have been checked
successfully, and the data could be dumped to a disk file.

Storing the messages in Virtual Memory might trash an existing core
dump in the swap partititon.
