Severity: important
The executive summary is:
When /etc/rcS.d/S05bootlogd starts /sbin/bootlogd, the /var
partition may not yet be mounted. Thus neither a pid file can be created
nor /var/log/boot :(

`----
On my systems, /var is not on the root partition.
S25mdadm-raid and S35mountall.sh come much later.
Maybe a possible workaround is to use /dev/shm (which is mounted by
S02mountvirtfs) to preliminary store the log file and get S99stop-bootlogd
to move it to /var/log.
Cheers,
Cristian
