Neither dmesg, nor messages, nor the other log files are complete. You
could get the output of the rc scripts to both the screen and a file
using the tee command:
[...]
l3:3:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 3 2>&1 | /usr/bin/tee /var/adm/rc3.log
However I wouldn't be sure that i/o redirection works at all in inittab.
is `/etc/init.d/rc 3' executed by sh or bash? I would guess it is
execed by a forked copy of init, which probably doesn't do i/o
redirection. Anyone who knows?
