That file only contains what can be held in the buffer until the
file system is up (I think). It also only contains the last 32K
or so of boot up messages.. I still lose all of the first messages:

steve@energistic:/home/steve> head /var/run/dmesg.boot
0x30
ata1-master: stat=0x20 err=0x20 lsb=0x20 msb=0x20
ata1-slave:  stat=0x30 err=0x30 lsb=0x30 msb=0x30
ata1-master: stat=0x20 err=0x20 lsb=0x20 msb=0x20
ata1-slave:  stat=0x30 err=0x30 lsb=0x30 msb=0x30

See what I mean?
