So just after my log in but before I type "startx" I can look at my boot log by hitting Shift + page up and Shift + page down.
Try running startx in virtual terminal #2, that way vt1 won't be bogged down by the X output. You should be able to flip to it (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and scroll up through it.
That doesn't work because the scrollback buffer is not kept when you switch VTs. That is, when you switch back, the only thing left on that VT is actually visible on the screen.
And, FYI for those who don't know, Ctrl-Alt-F1 will switch back to VT1 from within X. (And C-A-F2 for VT2, C-A-F3 for VT3, and so on).
