How can I view this? For instance, all the messages about what's being booted from /etc/rc. When I upgraded to 4.0, there were some non-critical start-up errors that flashed by too quickly for me to catch. One I happened to notice was /var/log/security not existing...but that was pretty painful to catch. How can I look at all those messages that occur after the kernel boots? I tried but that doesn't show them either.
