If it's SD Card boot, just create a text file
/boot/append-GTA02
on the rootfs in question, put in there
console=tty0 loglevel=8
and you'll see the messages on boot. If it's NAND right now you need to
edit the default commandline in Qi for gta02.
This definitely is useful if you have a panic or other serious trouble
and no debug board, but if you're working OK it just slows boot down.
