dmesg does not contain all the info that I see scrolling by quickly at boot. Setting the syslog buffer to a higher value in /etc/syslog.conf does not work. And there is no messages log in /dev/log. I am not a technical user, though, so that is all I knew to try. The best I could do was remove the SD and WiFi card to keep those device configuration messages from filling the log.
The following is everything USB-related in dmesg:
usbdcore: usbdcore 0.1 035 2002-06-12 20:00 (dbg="")
net_fd 0.1 035 2002-06-12 20:00 (dbg="",alwaysup=0,OUT=64,IN=64)
