[Tfug] Etch log files

[eric christian]

I installed a scanner creating a dev file, changing fstab, mounting 
stuff, runnig the frontend xsane etc. All's well except the boot 
messages include a message (in red!) about some mount matter. I can't 
find this in any log file. Such a red colored message must be logged 
somewhere. Is there some overview on logging? What/where do things get 
logged?
Are there log files other than those in /var/log?
