Why not use the circular in-memory buffer provided by busybox's syslogd?
It's what OpenWRT uses (and many other embedded firmwares): it doesn't
eat up your Flash/disk, but still gives you access to the last
few messages.
I already posted the init file I use for it:
# cat /etc/init.d/syslog-busybox
#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: sysklogd
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $time
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $time
# Should-Start: $network
# Should-Stop: $network
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: System logger
### END INIT INFO
case "$1" in
start )
echo -n "Starting Busybox syslog:"
if busybox syslogd -C16; then
echo -n " syslogd"; else echo -n " !syslogd!"; fi
if busybox klogd; then
echo -n " klogd"; else echo -n " !kogd!"; fi
echo "."
;;
esac
#
You can then read your syslog with "busybox logread" (for which you can
make a symlink).
