Assuming that all initialization routines are invoked directly by the
RESET handler (and not i.e. by an interrupt handler), you could run the
code in a generic 6502 emulator, which doesn't need to know anything about
the hardware.  That emulator could then log all reads and writes to e.g.
$0800-$BFFF.  Unfortunately I don't know such emulators very well; you
might need to do some C programming to adapt e.g. the CPU emulator VICE is
using.  I used a modified version of a VIC-20 emulator to remove the copy
protection from a couple of very tricky cartridges.
