The early part of the startup information is available from
dmesg. The next stage can be logged if you set RC_BOOTLOG
in /etc/conf.d/rc. see the comments in that file.
I gave it a try, and it seems that not everything gets logged:

What about everything from "Coldplugging pnp devices ..." to the end
(net, local, etc.) ?
Is this normal?
