Is there a log file containing the kernel parameters used?

Hello!

My question is way below, if you are in a hurry... ;-)

I am currently trying to install SuSE 9.0 on some old HW (Pentium
133MHz, 48MB
RAM)to have a firewall internet-router-computer at home.
To get the OS onto the computer was quite tricky because the CD-ROM
wouldn't boot and the DISK set failed with a "CRC error" (indepentend
of the disks i used and the BIOS settings).

So i made a DOS-Bootdisk with loadlin on it to boot the stuff in the
SUSECDROM1\boot\loader (or similar) folder.
Then i had to insert my second hd into my other computer to make a
swap partition. And reinstall it in the old computer.
Now i could install SuSE and everything seemed to work...
...until the first reboot.
The kernel said: Cannot mount root fs on 03:01 (wich is a reiserfs on
/dev/hda1).
The reiser module seems to be part of the initrd so this cannot be the
problem
and the major and minor number also seems to be correct according
to ls -l /dev/hda1. Neither GRUB nore LILO seem to work.

Right now, i have to use my dos-bootdisk, boot the installation system
from
the cd-rom and have to chose "Boot installed system". After the HD
check,
i can boot from /dev/hda1 without any problems.

This is --finally-- my question:

Is there a way to find out all kernel parameters the were used for the
last
system boot so i can find out the difference between both ways of
booting?
Maybe some kind of boot log?

Thanx,
RAG
