The command you're looking for must be run as root
and it's dmesg.
That shows the system messages from the last boot. If you need more information it's probably located someplace like /var/log (in the Madriva distros anyway).

NAME
dmesg - collect system diagnostic messages to form error log
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
looks in a system buffer for recently printed diagnostic messages and prints them on the standard output. The messages are those printed
by the system when unusual events occur (such as when system tables overflow or the system crashes). If the argument is specified, com-
putes (incrementally) the new messages since the last time it was run and places these on the standard output. This is typically used with
(see cron(1)) to produce the error log by running the command:
every 10 minutes.
The arguments and allow substitution for the defaults and where should be a file containing the image of the kernel virtual memory saved by
the savecrash(1M) command and should be the corresponding kernel. If the system is booted with a kernel other than /stand/vmunix say
/stand/vmunix_new, must be passed this name, the command must be,
WARNINGS
The system error message buffer is of small, finite size. is run only every few minutes, so there is no guarantee that all error messages
will be logged.
