Yea, the only way I've ever been able to capture things like walkbacks
from crashing services was to configure the boot to use a serial port
and use a null modem to another computer where I could capture the
boot messages in a terminal emulator (which is a royal pain).

I suppose another option might be to film the boot with a high resolution
camera and play it back frame by frame to see what it said :-).
