Hi,
$SUBJECT says it all:

Is there any way to find out in which order services are
started during boot-up (except for looking at boot-up
screen and making notes)?

I tried to figure it out looking into /etc/init.d scripts,
but there are a lot of depend/need/use/before statements,
so I quicky lost trace...

You could use the "interactive way" so you will be prompted to accept
every service starts. You can do this by pouching "I" during OpenRC
start (or something like this - there is some kind of message, during
OpenRC start, something like "Press "I" for interactive mode")

You could turn on boot logging in rc.conf and look at /var/log/rc.log.

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

I think Jarry wanted to know what to tweak to change the order. I wanted
to know this as well not long ago, but I didn't have the energy to chase
it. (I wanted gpm to be started earlier in the sequence but without
putting it in the boot run level.)

How do I do this?
My rc.conf doesn't contain anything that looks like a fitting parameter.
There is no man-page for rc.conf, either.

Thanks in advance,

rc_logger="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf for openrc. Baselayout1 has a similar setting somewhere.

If he did, that's not what he asked. You change the order by adding
before/after statements to the scripts in /etc/init.d. I believe with
openrc you can have a similar effect by setting rc_after or rc_before in
the corresponding file in /etc/conf.d. I've never tried this but it is
documented in /etc/rc.conf.

I think the output of 'rc-status' shows the services in the right order.

It may be a coincidence but mine are alphabetical. Also, mine only
shows the ones in the current runlevel, default at the moment. It does
not list the ones in the boot runlevel.
