Thank you for information. I created /etc/syslog.d/console.log.conf as
below and rebooted system.

yasu at maybe[2012]% cat /etc/syslog.d/console.log.conf                                                                       ~
# Log all writes to /dev/console to a separate file.

console.*                                       /var/log/console.log

Then boot messages are written in /var/log/console.log

yasu at maybe[2016]% LANG=C ls -l /var/log/console.log                                                                        ~

So my case seems to be different from yours.
