Re: Finding exactly which commands, and in which order, rc is running at startup
Thanks for all the suggestions. Of them, this was the one that helped me with my issue: On Aug 23, 2013, at 1:41 AM, Doug Hardie bc...@lafn.org wrote: You can add: rc_debug=YES to /etc/rc.conf and that might give you what you need.

You probably can't get a report on every single process run during the boot process at all easily. However, you can see the console output from the boot process. To see what the kernel emits on boot-up, look at /var/run/dmesg.boot -- if you've got an old copy of dmesg.boot around somewhere, comparing the two should show you any changes in the devices the kernel discovers when it probes your system. To see the output from the rc system, the best thing is to enable the console log. Edit /etc/syslog.conf and uncomment the indicated line, as so: # uncomment this to log all writes to /dev/console to /var/log/console.log console.info/var/log/console.log Then do: touch /var/log/console.log chmod 600 /var/log/console.log /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart Obviously, that won't help you see what happened on the previous reboot, but on the next reboot you should see a transcript of the console output.
