There is (AFAIK) no utility to let you do that. You can use Shift-PgUp
after booting to scroll up (don't switch virtual consoles however), but
that's all.
The problem is that these "boot messages" aren't boot messages at all.
They are the output of user level programs that are automatically run
after booting the kernel. The kernel itself keeps a buffer of the last 4K
of KERNEL messages (8K on 2.1 and 2.2 kernels), and this is what dmesg
shows.
