I've never used this facility, so I'm only guessing.

But if they're not on the installer media, then they're presumably on 
the disk you're installing to, which is mounted on /target/ during the 
installation - so /target/var/log/<filename>.

Whether and how you can get them off that disk if you haven't finished 
the installation is a different matter, of course :-)
