They're impossible to capture because they're only visible on the VGA screen for like 0.2 seconds before the machine reboots and the screen is blanked; they don't show up on the serial console.
They look like paths to the vmlinuz and initrd surrounded by [ ] brackets, so I guess they come from grub.
