Actually, I forgot that recent versions of sysvinit (2.85-5 and newer,
currently only in unstable) have a boot log, which *does* contain
messages output by init scripts. bootlogd writes to /var/log/boot by
default.
I guess I'm too used to the answer to this question being "no", as for
the last several years. :)
With earlier versions of sysvinit, I guess you could hack
/etc/init.d/rcS and /etc/init.d/rc to capture the output from init
scripts.
