 Here is a typical startup log:

 {{{

 Aug 30 02:06:48.496 [notice] Tor v0.2.4.0-alpha-dev (git-661bd3fe714f0c99)
 running on Darwin.
 Aug 30 02:06:48.496 [notice] Tor can't help you if you use it wrong! Learn
 how to be safe at https://www.torproject.org/download/download#warning
 Aug 30 02:06:48.496 [notice] This version is not a stable Tor release.
 Expect more bugs than usual.
 Aug 30 02:06:48.496 [notice] Configuration file "/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc"
 not present, using reasonable defaults.
 Aug 30 02:06:48.499 [notice] Initialized libevent version 2.1.1-alpha-dev
 using method kqueue. Good.
 Aug 30 02:06:48.499 [notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
 Aug 30 02:06:48.000 [notice] No AES engine found; using AES_* functions.
 Aug 30 02:06:48.000 [notice] This version of OpenSSL has a slow
 implementation of counter mode; not using it.
 Aug 30 02:06:48.000 [notice] OpenSSL OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011 looks like
 version 0.9.8m or later; I will try SSL_OP to enable renegotiation
 Aug 30 02:06:48.000 [notice] Reloaded microdescriptor cache.  Found 0
 descriptors.
 Aug 30 02:06:48.000 [notice] I learned some more directory information,
 but not enough to build a circuit: We have no usable consensus.
 Aug 30 02:06:49.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 5%: Connecting to directory
 server.
 Aug 30 02:06:49.000 [notice] Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 0:00 hours, with 1
 circuits open. I've sent 0 kB and received 0 kB.
 Aug 30 02:06:49.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 10%: Finishing handshake with
 directory server.
 Aug 30 02:06:49.000 [notice] We weren't able to find support for all of
 the TLS ciphersuites that we wanted to advertise. This won't hurt
 security, but it might make your Tor (if run as a client) more easy for
 censors to block.
 Aug 30 02:06:49.000 [notice] To correct this, use a more recent OpenSSL,
 built without disabling any secure ciphers or features.
 Aug 30 02:06:50.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 15%: Establishing an encrypted
 directory connection.
 Aug 30 02:06:50.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 20%: Asking for networkstatus
 consensus.
 Aug 30 02:06:50.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 25%: Loading networkstatus
 consensus.
 Aug 30 02:06:51.000 [notice] I learned some more directory information,
 but not enough to build a circuit: We have no usable consensus.
 Aug 30 02:06:52.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 40%: Loading authority key
 certs.
 Aug 30 02:06:53.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 45%: Asking for relay
 descriptors.
 Aug 30 02:06:53.000 [notice] I learned some more directory information,
 but not enough to build a circuit: We have only 0/3067 usable
 microdescriptors.
 Aug 30 02:06:55.000 [notice] We now have enough directory information to
 build circuits.
 Aug 30 02:06:55.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 80%: Connecting to the Tor
 network.
 Aug 30 02:06:55.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 85%: Finishing handshake with
 first hop.
 Aug 30 02:06:55.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 90%: Establishing a Tor circuit.
 Aug 30 02:06:57.000 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks
 like client functionality is working.
 Aug 30 02:06:57.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 100%: Done.
