Bug Description

This thread explains both the problem and a possible workaround.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10757823/display-file-with-escaped-color-codes-boot-messages-from-bootlog-daemon

The problem is that cat /var/log/boot does not result in a file which is displayed in the exact same way as on startup. That is, instead of displaying e.g. 'ok' in green it shows some things which are clearly escape codes.
