Get a log from the Boot sequence


Everytime I start linux there is a boot sequence, sometimes I really want to have that book sequence stored somewhere. I will think that a log would be generated but I havent been able to find it. Is there such a log and if not how can I get one capture of the sequence.

I am using Mandriva 2006

yes that is part of the boot sequence however I am refering to the service startup checkup. Basically when it goes through the [ OK ] / [ FAILED ] process.

Go into /etc/default/bootlogd and set the BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
