I don't know where the log is, but maybe this articel can help you

In order to reset the /etc/issue later, you can easily make a backup of it before changing.

Re: where can i find the start up log?

dmesg: boot messages generated by the kernel
/var/log/daemon.log: messages generated by daemons
/var/log/kernel.log: messages generated by the kernel

dmesg: boot messages generated by the kernel
/var/log/daemon.log: messages generated by daemons
/var/log/kernel.log: messages generated by the kernel

MadTux:  None of the above log files have the same information in them as a traditional "boot.log"
Depending on what you're looking for, dmesg and the like are often no help whatsoever.

Please do not necrobump old posts - this is 9 years old!

Especially don't do so simply to repost a link that was already in the second post.
