Ringo,

Just follow Dan's instructions above to create a custom bootstrap ERB, then set log_info to :debug vs :info.  

So if you copied http://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap/ubuntu10.04-gems.erb to ~/.chef/bootstrap/debug.erb

you would change line 25 from:

log_level        :info

to

log_level        :debug

You would then call knife bootstrap with the flag "--template-file ~/.chef/bootstrap/debug.erb"

More information about custom bootstrap templates can be found here:

Anyone?
