Re: /etc/init.d/boot message?
As the data is available (via Shift-Pageup) then there surely must be a
way of getting to it and saving it. I tried with /dev/vcs* but got only
the current screen. Maybe in /proc/??? somewhere? A Linux guru is
needed.
Then we could have a script run as the final boot-up process to save it to
a file.
Im my case there is yet another complication. When svgatextmode is run it
does a reset and I lose all info prior to that point.
