Probably vendor^Wdistro-specific, but the RH 7.2 boxes at work keep
this at /var/log/dmesg<.something?>.

NetBSD keeps it at /var/run/dmesg.boot. Solaris doesn't store it by
default because everything after the kernel logger's running goes to
/var/log/messages anyway. (Not the best of plans; messages gets
rotated, on long-running systems you've got no hope of seeing boot
messages.)
