boot messages

[Tony Alfrey]

Hi.

I want to put little messages in the various boot scripts (like in 
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules) so that I can track the boot process.  I would 
like these messages to appear someplace where I can review them, such 
as in dmesg.  So far, I have simply put
echo "blah blah"
into scripts and the messages appear on the screen during boot-up but 
not in either dmesg (or /var/log/messages) which is where I would like 
them.
Does someone know how to do this?  I would really appreciate a hint on 
this one.
Thanks much in advance!
