STARTUP.LOG?

I have an ALPHA which hangs for a couple of minutes AFTER it joins the
cluster. This is a 21164A CPU (actually, two of them) so the machine is
quite fast. By the time it gets to SYLOGICALS.COM, a 4000/60 has
already completed booting.

Is there a way to get the startup sequence before SYLOGICALS.COM logged
somewhere, preferably with SET PREFIX turned on, so I can see where and
perhaps why it is hanging? During the hanging, no messages are written
to the console, so I have no idea what it is doing.

Other ALPHAs don't show this behaviour.
