In addition to /etc/init.d/foo as Martin suggests, /etc/rc.local might
also be used, or test for and create the directory before logging these
events you describe.

But it remains on a tmpfs, so it will not be preserved.  If you want
preserved data, don't use /var/log.

See /proc/mounts for other tmpfs to avoid.
