The specific location of the bootstrap log varies depending on the WSL distribution and the tools used for initialization, but it's often related to the specific tool used to start Docker or the WSL distribution itself. Common places include the distribution's system logs (e.g., `/var/log/syslog` or a custom startup script's output) and Docker Desktop's settings, potentially within the WSL integration configuration.
