Where can I find the "boot" log to find out, what failed on boot?

I rarely find 'fail' type boot messages in any of the logs. When this happens to me, I use the following rc.local, which will pause at the end of the boot process, *normally* preserving these messages:

#!/bin/bash

# /etc/rc.local: Local multi-user startup script.

# pause at end of boot before clearing screen
