OpenRC
Alpine Linux uses OpenRC as init system which has a few configuration option that can be changed. Most options are already explained in the /etc/rc.conf file which has to be edited.
Parallel services
The boot process can be sped up if services are launched parallel (do note that this can lead to small issues).
rc_parallel="YES"
Logging
What is more important is enabling the logger which logs the rc process. Enable it by setting:
rc_logger="YES"
To also log the rest of the system add klogd.
# apk add sysklogd
# rc-update add klogd boot
You can view the logs in /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages
