Dear initramfs-tools maintainer, By command "exec >/dev/kmsg 2>&1" in init, which was introduced by commit 3acddc [0], kernel messages can all redirected to netconsole with no problem.
I want some bit more, that to redirect service start/stop messages from sysvinit/systemd to netconsole as well. I already tried to replace ">${rootmnt}/dev/console" with ">${rootmnt}/dev/kmsg" in the final block of "init" script, but with no luck. I'm now wondering whether it's possible under initramfs-tools. Maybe the right way is to hack systemd/sysvinit?
