It's always frustrating to diagnose things like that, without being able
to effectively pause and restart the kernel messages.  Booting with a
serial console is, I think, the preferred solution.

One thing you could do is put in an IDE drive and put a basic root
partition on it -- at least enough to boot into a recovery shell.  Then
you can look around at dmesg, etc.

It's not elegant, but it's an idea.
