No point in doing that at all. If you want to see those messages after login as root or as sudo root do dmesg >dmesg.log. Then less dmesg.log will let you view those messages one screen at a time. Also for a particular issue of interest, dmesg | grep -in "search_string" will show specific lines of dmesg.log pertinent to your search. I'm coming at this from a blindness perspective and use of speakup on my linux box and that for me makes life far easier over here.
