Narrative:
During the takeoff roll of flight GGG-hnl, right after I (first officer) set takeoff power (approximately 70-80 KTS), doors master caution light and aft cargo light illuminated. The takeoff was aborted. The aircraft was then taxied to the ramp area. I (first officer) suggested to the captain to enter the problem in the maintenance log. Upon discussion, the captain elected to not enter the condition in the maintenance log. He instead elected to have the ramp/maintenance personnel cycle the door, secure the door closed and then he elected to continue the flight to honolulu. Upon further discussion, the captain had maintenance check the door again in hnl. This, too, was not entered in the maintenance log. In retrospect, I feel there should have been an entry made in the maintenance log of the original problem in ogg that caused the abort. This is the reason for this report.
