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.
