You would need an extension that is loading first to do this. A logging
AppleScript, in the Startup folder, would probably be called too late in the
process (in fact, you wouldn't see it launching, since the machine would
crash in the boot process).
There are certainly ways to see if a crash happened, since the OS seems to
detect this and will propose to repair the disk at startup.
