On a vaguely related note, I also have pondered the following in the
past; if you observe a system booting, you'll see all the "[OK]" and
"[FAILED]" messages. Is there a log somewhere where you can check
later on which services were started and which passed or failed?
the `dmesg` command will display the kernel message buffer, which
includes messages prior to syslogd starting up. also look in
/var/log/messages
as dmesg can eventually overflow with junk (iptables logging messages,
for instance), I've been known to stuff a command like
dmesg > /var/log/dmesg.boot
into /etc/rc.d/rc.local just to keep a copy of the state of dmesg right
after boot for later reference.
