I, too, would love to see this feature.  For example, my ALSA sound card
module produces error messages when loading, but nothing is captured in
DMESG.  The sound card works just fine in spite of the error messages,
so I haven't pursued the matter.  It would be nice if all the boot
scripts had a debugging option that would append what goes to the
console to a file.
