By default these messages are not logged, but you can turn logging on
by editing /etc/default/bootlogd to say:
# Run bootlogd at startup ?
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
Now after the next time you boot you should have a boot log at
/var/log/boot.
Sorry about your disk problems, they do look quite serious. You may
want to run your disk drive manufacturer's diagnostic tool. They can
sometimes repair a drive although there's no guarantee you won't lose
data.
