Hi Peter,

Usually there is too much after-boot output, so boot output is evicted
anyway even if was preserved initially. Also usually it's not
important (this is the first time this comes up). And also
structurally boot is a separate procedure in syzkaller VM abstraction,
a machine is booted, output is analyzed for potential crashes, then
the machine is considered in a known good state and then some workload
is started as a separate procedure and new output capturing starts
from this point again.

What info are you interested in? Can if be obtained after boot?
Perhaps I can give it to you now. And there is also this long standing request:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/issues/466
to collect some kind of "machine info" along with crashes. Perhaps we
need to add the info you are looking for to that list.
