Once again, in an effort to set their own standards, IBM has decided the 
dmesg command, as used by every other UNIX in the world, isn't good enough 
for them.

In order to see console messages, you must use the alog command. This command 
does more than the dmesg command on other UNIXes; you can create a number of 
message buffers similar to what dmesg uses. I'm not sure what the use of that 
would be, but it's there nonetheless.

Execute ``alog -L`` to get a list of the log types that are defined in the odm database.

To see the boot messages, execute ``alog -o -t boot``
