Toni is correct. Via SSH, you can not sign in until booting is complete, so you can not watch the boot process this way. You can go look at the syslog at /var/log/syslog after signing in, and see (most of) what happened, assuming that it did complete booting. This may or may not help you. ---

EEPROM is in I2C0 which does not connect to the expansion headers. I2C2 is a shared bus. As long as no tow devices have the same address, you are limited to 255 different devices on an I2C bus. SPI has a dedicated CS line. You can and that with a GPIO pin and create more CS signals if you like.
