Good answer.
Another is to enable serial console at boot and log this output either
to localhost (sufficient for most purposes) or to a second system
(possibly a dedicated logging server). This should capture *everything*
that crosses the console, including BIOS, POST, bootloader, kernel, and
init messages. It can even be used for debugging.
Peace.
