I just want to see console output when my n900 is booting. Where is an appropriate place to put 'modprobe fbcon' in pre-init?

But upstart is not running (it is started after bootmenu start booting...) so program reboot try to connect (more times) to upstart, it spends time and then it switch to fallback.
I do not know what is good way to reboot/poweroff device when upstart is not running.
PS: upstart is not possible to start - when it is started, it start booting device!
Now I turn it on (kbd closed), and after entering the PIN I get to the "Welcome" screen asking me to set language/region/time/date.
After that everything's OK. I guess I have to investigate who/what starts that Welcome screen and see what I can do.
Does anybody else have this problem? or can anyone else confirm they DON'T have this problem??

OK. Now I now that the problem is that /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10osso_startup_wizard is somehow deciding that I need to set my regional settings again.
Will investigate further (maybe after recovery console it thinks a new SIM is in place, who knows?).

I did it and it's working great.
@reinob
When You get prompt to set date and time, is there already correct date/time set, or You must set it from scratch? If the latter is true, it's not only osso-startup-wizard, but something is resetting Your date/time.
In some special cases, I remember getting startup wizard prompt, but date was *not* reset - it was matter of confirming it, cause it was correct. On the other hand, after having battery out of N900 for a long time, date is reset = startup wizard doesn't reset time on it's own upon arrival.

@Estel,
In my case both date and time are reset (date is like 01/01/2009). I will try later deactivating the 10osso_startup_wizard script and see what date/time I get when rebooting.
Just for the record, in /var/lib/osso-startup-wizard I have:
[State]
changed-without-pin=no
last-valid-sim-id=2620....
settings-changed=yes
sim-seen=yes
I will now turn off completely. Then boot to console and while in the console check the above file. Then exit/minireboot with deactivated osso-startup-... and check the file again (possibly with a wrong date and time, but for testing it's OK).

OK. When in boot console the file wasn't changed.
Now booting Maemo normally I don't get the welcome screen (yes!), BUT date and time are reset.
More specifically, I go to the date and time settings and the 24-hour clock is still checked (good), no update automatically (good), time zone is correct (good).
Only date and time are messed up (Jan 1 2009, 01:00 GMT+1)
I don't know where to look, but something is messing up the date/time. However given that at least my zone settings are being kept, I might just activate the "update automatically" (I've never wanted to use that, it seems to randomly mess-up calendar events and alarms, just like in Symbian).

Anything you need is to load the fbcon module with the command:
modprobe fbcon
The Problem is to put the command very early at boot, so that You see all boot messages during booting (and during shutdown)
I have a multiboot installed, so this is not possible to use bootmenu.
In this case, it is possible to put this command very early to
/sbin/preinit
I put
modprobe fbcon
in the line 9 of /sbin/preinit
after the line
export PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
For People, who has bootmenu instead of multiboot, is possible to put modprobe fbcon to /bootmenu.sh
Pali Rohar has helped to solve this problem,
Thank you very much, Pali!
But please, be careful!
Playing with /sbin/preinit or /bootmenu.sh can put Your N900 to boot loop or make some other "very bad things"
Sorry for my bad English and best greetings from Berlin/Germany
Code:
export PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

would like to have framebuffer als enabled on boot, only installed this(recovery console) thus have bootmenu installed. Where to add modprobe fbcon exactly?
Actaully the same question as vi_
Als after using the recovery console and typing "exit" I had the welcome screen too when booting in maemo, but date was reset, IIRC.
