what do you think of adding /var/log/journal too? As mentioned in the manual: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/systemd-journald.service.8.html
On systems where /var/log/journal/ does not exist yet but where
persistent logging is desired (and the default journald.conf is
used), it is sufficient to create the directory, and ensure it
has the correct access modes and ownership:
mkdir -p /var/log/journal
systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix /var/log/journal
Something like:
z /var/log/journal 2755 root systemd-journal - -

Oh, right, forgot that this is what we wanted and it's in a different file

The persisting of logs on first boot didn't work anymore because /var/log wasn't created early enough as Mathieu found out. The /var/log directory is set up by var.conf/systemd.conf from systemd which we can't easily apply from the initrd due to the utmp user defined there. As workaround, add /var/log also to baselayout.conf which gets applied from the initrd - but even here we have to copy the systemd-journal group over to /sysroot/etc/group because systemd-tmpfiles only looks there and doesn't load the libc and its nss plugin from the chroot.
