Could someone explain a "Won't Fix" bug resolution re ubuntu-boot-experience?

[Robbie Williamson]

Apologies for this.  While the systems startup text is normal, e.g. the
fsck stuff, the kernel messages are not, e.g. the usb stuff.  I've dup'd
this to bug 438335.   Furthermore, if you'd like to improve the boot
experience, I suggest doing the following:

1) Convert to Grub2
- sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy

2) Relocate your console messages from tty1 to tty6
- sudo vi /etc/default/grub
- Add "console=tty6" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:
     "quiet splash console=tty6"
- save and quit
- sudo update-grub

3) Enable usplash at boot
- sudo -i
- echo USPLASH=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/usplash.conf
- update-initramfs -u

Please let me know if that improves things.

-Robbie
