Debian: record boot messages

Debian allows you to record boot messages by means of the bootlogd
daemon. According to man pages:

Bootlogd runs in the background and copies all strings sent to the
/dev/console device to a logfile. If the logfile is not accessible,
the messages will be kept in memory until it is.

This feature is not enabled by default. Edit /etc/default/bootlogd and
modify it to enable recording of boot messages:


# Run bootlogd at startup ?
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes

Now bootlogd will start sending boot messages to /var/log/boot.
