I can't read /dev/kmsg, it might not be accessible. dmesg is all I can reliably get :(

Isn't dmesg just using /dev/kmsg? Or are you using "dmesg -S"?

I get piped dmesg output. I can play with its options but I don't see how I can make it print sequence numbers.

If you can call dmesg, I expect you can read /dev/kmsg as well. Take a look at the output of:

cat /dev/kmsg

The second field is the sequence number. You can read about the format here:
