IIRC, you need to press ctl-alt-f4 (three keys - just like normal vty 
switching).  You can then use scroll-lock and page-up and page-down and 
arrow keys to see what's been said that feel off the screen already.

If it's not f4 you can just try with ctl-alt-f1, f2, f3 etc until you 
find the right screen!  And one of those should take you back to the 
sysinstall normal screen.  Don't forget to hit scroll-lock again 
(assuming you hit it a first time) to turn off scrolling or the 
vty-switch may not work.

hth,

PS Re: your earlier question, I'm pretty sure you can use ls and cd to 
see what files you have if you can't remember the name of the kernel 
directory.  Depends exactly what point your boot got too, but it sounds 
like the right place for those to work.
