Initial boot messages on terminal
 
Is there a boot option to have the terminal pause at each page of
messages. For early boot problems, I can't see the messages that lead
to the panic, because they scroll off the screen.

Best bet is to set up a serial console and connect with another computer
running something like minicom. Or you can use a serial or paralell
printer as a console so message go to the printer as well as the screen.
See the remote-serial-console-HOWTO.
