The olpc-update created a fresh root which had /var/log in
tmpfs.
Look in the alternate root for the /var/log that belonged
to os303.
/versions/run/
That's the first I looked.
However messages is empty and lastlog and faillog although sizable appear with no text
content. How do you see their content?
Another issue is the does not appear to be any /boot-alt folder, so I can not boot back to
os303 and check from there, unless if I do it manually.
Bootpart has /bootpart/boot-versions/<version> but OFW does not see that as
boot-alt.
How do you boot-alt in XO-1.5 builds?
