That didn't show much, but I managed to get some of the messages with a 
digital camera:

Starting Clamav virus database updater freshclam
Starting DirMngr dirmngr
Starting NFS common utilities
Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...
Starting NFS kernel daemon
Starting internet superserver inetd
Starting powernowd...
Starting Samba daemons
Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon avahi-daemon
Starting DHCP D-Bus daemon dhcdbd
Starting Bluetooth services
Starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron
Starting deferred execution scheduler atd
Starting periodic command scheduler crond
Enabling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support
Checking battery state...
Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)
Stopping K Display Manager: kdm

I think they all have [ok] at the end too, which is what I would normally 
expect to see at start up and not shutting down.
