log messages during boot time

[brian]

how to log all messages that are sent to console during the time a
solaris box boots up ?

also i just found out that for solaris, the boot messages are sent to
stdout or /dev/console in most cases. Those messages are not sent to
syslog (which isn't even running until rc2).
One could write a script by modifying the rcS and similar scripts.
But the hard part is knowing where to write the log, since you don't
have any writable filesystems until partway through the rcS scripts.
