If you'd rather not change the default setup but just want to see the
boot message for once, you can press the Esc key:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/tree/README

"In either text or graphics mode, the boot messages are completely
occluded.  After the root file system is mounted read-write, the
messages are dumped to /var/log/boot.log.  Also, the user can see the
messages at any time during boot up by hitting the escape key."
