Some boot error

I am getting some boot error at the very end at boot time and it moves to fast for me to catch it.

I did try with read -n1 added to rc.conf but as the error is at the very end so it just jumps past the error.

I had a look in /var/log files but could not really find anything.

Where to find the boot log? Or something else?

Re: Some boot error

You can look through /var/log/dmesg.log and see if you can find it there.  A more creative solution requires a digital camera w/ video mode, video it and then go frame-by-frame through it assuming it's clear enough for you to read.

You should add read at the end of /etc/rc.local
