how to put or copy all the console messages that appear when
a redhat unix box boots up.
i need to put all the messages that appear during a system boot
up to a file for later analysis.

Look in your /var/log directory, you'll find them already there.

Have you looked at "dmesg"?

.... 'dmesg' or check in /var/log/* where they are 'naturally
stored'

i checked dmesg and boot.log

both these files have incomplete information.
is there a configuration setting that needs to be done
to direct these messages to a user defined file ?

Define "incomplete." What part of the boot information is not in
/var/log/messages or another similar log?
