No, probably better to write everything to the log as it arrives with
no buffering. A bit slower, yes, but it means that critical boot
messages won't be lost if the boot sequence fails. However, you will
need to cache until you have a writeable /, which may never happen,
for example, on a network mount.
Ho hum.
