Logging the Gentoo boot messages
Got an error message when Gentoo Linux boots, but cannot read it because it goes away too quickly? Or want to see what your remote Gentoo server is doing on boot up? Below is a way to log boot messages to a file.
Just edit /etc/conf.d/rc and set:
RC_BOOTLOG="no"
to
RC_BOOTLOG="yes"
After that emerge app-admin/showconsole:
emerge -av showconsole
All last boot messages, will be stored in /var/log/boot.msg
Note: this probably won't work correctly with boot splash
