You need to activate bootlogd for this: edit the file /etc/default/bootlogd, change BOOTLOGD_ENABLE to Yes. After a reboot you will find these messages in /var/log/boot.

You could probably coble something together using bootlogd, but you'd want the log saved to something other than /var/log/boot since it will get overwritten on the next boot. Try /var/log/shutdown. You will also want it to file everything before the script that umounts local fs (and hense /var).
