Just a minor aside:  At various times on various OS's I've hit 
situations where messages go by too fast at boot-up.  It finally 
occurred to me that I could use some of the alternate video-recording 
modes on my iPhone to record the screen during the entire boot-up 
process, and then rewatch the boot-up process in slow motion.  This 
trick has helped me solve a few problems that none of us at work were 
able to fix, because none of our eyes are fast enough to read all of 
those boot-up messages as they fly by.

And before this, none of us had thought to take out our 
modern-technology cell phones to record messages on the very 
ancient-technology of "serial console" messages written to a the screen 
of a monitor.
