No need to do that,  I have the log files, just can't copy-and-paste in NetBSD.

I can copy-and-paste at a FreeBSD text virtual terminal, am now in newcons as 
opposed to syscons, so copying and pasting tends to gratuitously double-space.

Virtue of newcons is the ability to run X and then return to a text console.
