Actually, while plymouth is started relatively early, the splash screen
isn't shown - so there's a brief period where console messages can get
through.

I haven't yet removed "console output" from mountall, so an fsck or two
can sneak through while the graphics driver is loading.

That being said, plymouth should have captured that and hid it in
boot.log - but it doesn't, so this is a plymouth "bug"
