Since an update to current a couple of weeks ago, I now see several lines
(6 or 7) early in the boot. I'm not sure whether it is from one of the
boots or the loader, but it comes out so quickly (and so briefly) but it
vanishes on my display before I can read it.

Just a minor aside: At various times on various OS's I've hit situations where messages go by too fast at boot-up. It finally occurred to me that I could use some of the alternate video-recording modes on my iPhone to record the screen during the entire boot-up process, and then rewatch the boot-up process in slow motion. This trick has helped me solve a few problems that none of us at work were able to fix, because none of our eyes are fast enough to read all of those boot-up messages as they fly by.

And before this, none of us had thought to take out our modern-technology cell phones to record messages on the very ancient-technology of "serial console" messages written to a the screen of a monitor.
