I does not stay on long enough to study the messages, but the screen being cleared and the messages bars appearing are a clear indication that the bridge code ran.
Which I consider is alright, people would complain if we slowed the start-up too much.
It currently uses about 2 seconds on the (very) slow original Kindle Touch.
What I could do is keep track if there is anything found that the user should know about -
If such a situation occurs, then I could trigger a sleep for long enough to read the messages.
Otherwise, the screen flash with a rapidly written set of lines and then continuing with the boot-up should be enough feedback.
Who wants to read a bunch of messages that say everything is alright?
(Or do as radamo did, take a video of the Kindle as it starts up with your camera or phone.)
If it does not stop long enough to read them, then nothing is wrong.
I have a feeling that it will be hard to satisfy everyone on this matter.
I will take suggestions on this subject in this thread.

How about just putting all messages (good and bad) into /mnt/us/bridgeoutput.txt?
This way anybody can look at them later.
