Actually I was just reading about that at
http://www.redhat.com/knowledgebase/initscripts. Apparently all the messages
are buffered by a fake syslogd until root is remounted rw, at which point
the syslog buffer, the kernel dmesg buffer, and additional init script
activity is all send to the real syslogd and klogd (and logged to disk) at
the same time. Understandably, things get mixed up a little.
