In the initrd there's the script blogd.sh:

if test -z "$fboot" -a -z "$quiet" -a -z "$REDIRECT" ; then
    REDIRECT=$(showconsole 2>/dev/null)
    if test -n "$REDIRECT" ; then
	if test "$devpts" != "yes" ; then
	    mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
	    devpts=yes
	fi
	> /dev/shm/initrd.msg
	ln -sf /dev/shm/initrd.msg /var/log/boot.msg
	mkdir -p /var/run
	/sbin/blogd $REDIRECT
    fi
fi

And in the rootfs the boot.klog script:

# Read all kernel messages generated until now and put them in one file.
    test -s /var/log/boot.msg && mv -f /var/log/boot.msg /var/log/boot.omsg
    echo Creating /var/log/boot.msg
    if test -x /sbin/klogd ; then
        # klogd syncs out the file
	/sbin/klogd -s -o -n -f /var/log/boot.msg
	test -s /var/log/boot.msg
	rc_status -v1 -r
    elif test -x /bin/dmesg ; then
	/bin/dmesg > /var/log/boot.msg
	/bin/sync
	test -s /var/log/boot.msg
	rc_status -v1 -r
    fi
    if test -e /dev/shm/initrd.msg ; then
	cat /dev/shm/initrd.msg >> /var/log/boot.msg
	rm -f /dev/shm/initrd.msg
    fi
