OK I filed #852229 [systemd] failing to log output at boot time BH> (I recognise that initramfs-tools should log output before it hands BH> over to systemd (or other init system), so this is a valid bug. BH> Unfortunately it will not be easy to do this consistently.) Yes even though the user sees them flying by in the original order on the screen, alas you will probably have to collect them into separate files depending on where they came from. It is too bad they can't be put into the dmesg/syslog... or actually they could. With just a simple logger(1) command(?).
