These are functions of a shell (like bash), which you haven't got yet during kernel boot. You can read the kernel boot messages _after_ your system's up using dmesg etc. If you can't do that, e.g. because your kernel always hangs during boot, you could enable a serial console in your kernel and watch/log your kernel messages with a terminal program running on a different computer.
