This has worked well for me, logging the early boot process that
usually scrolls by on the screen. I use it on 8.3 and 9.1.

I was surprised that it managed to log console stuff that occurred
before syslogd was loaded...


from syslog.conf

# uncomment this to log all writes to /dev/console to 
#   /var/log/console.log
# touch /var/log/console.log and chmod it to mode 600 
#   before it will work
console.info                            /var/log/console.log
