This is real server hardware - you can log absolutely everthing.
For a full boot log you can attach a null modem cable to your serial.
However - I don't think this detail is required.
It should be sufficient if you at least describe the last line you see.
Or you could describe what you need to type in to continue.
A bad description is much better than a wild guess at which stage
things go wrong for you.
