Serial console (Documentation/serial-console.txt). Run a null modem to a second machine and capture it there, even an 8086 running DOS 2 will do the job. And before you ask, no we cannot save the log somewhere and pick it up later. There was a recent thread on this and PC's do not have anywhere safe (disk I/O is not safe in a panic) and reliable (most BIOS's clear or corrupt memory on boot) to store the log.
