I answered this in another thread not so long ago:
1. As far as bootlogd is concerned, do the following:
# apt-get install bootlogd
# vi /etc/default/bootlogd , and make sure the only line in there looks
like:
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
As for syslog this is automatically started up. If you find you're missing
symlinks to the scripts the you can do one of two things:
1. man update-rc.d
2. dpkg-reconfigure <package>
(You might also find the package 'rcconf' useful for such tasks).
