That's good. Just don't press F2 while splashy is running... i'm
working on that now.

bootlogd logs everything printed to the console during boot... I'd not
be able to answer that. Splashy itself prints things to STDERR (not
STDOUT) when in error or debug. Not sure about bootlogd there... To be
safe you could modify splashy-init so that instead of calling: splashy
boot. it calls: splashy boot 2>&1. Which redirects STDERR to STDOUT.

Just be sure that your /var partition is part of the same disk that
your root uses /. If not bootlogd will log to the wrong place (and
when /var gets mounted it masks the earlier /var/log dir). Ol' issue.

Cheers
