Do we have a way to keep starting verbose during installation?
Upon installing Ventura, if I hit cmd -V it beginns verbose, but soon switches back to the apple + progress bar and hangs on an unknown state.
Where can I find the boot log from another instance to see what is preventing booting?
Thanks for your help.

There is a Terminal command for always booting in vebose mode:

sudo nvram boot-args="-v"

To disable these features and have the system boot normally without any extra options, you can erase them from the nvram by either resetting it or, more specifically, by running either of the following commands in the Terminal (these will reset the boot arguments instead of resetting all the nvram variables):

sudo nvram boot-args=""
sudo nvram -d boot-args

There is also the free Boot Buddy app for people who don't like the Terminal. But not everything in there is working with enabled SIP.
