I suppose your referring to the graphical boot? 

If your using Dapper, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and remove
"splash" and "quiet". 

If your using Edgy, insert a # just before the splash.  I have included
a sample of my menu.lst file:

title        Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic
root        (hd0,0)
kernel        /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic
root=UUID=3830dc6c-4b68-446c-b2ab-44a31b051c63 ro 
#splash
initrd        /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic
savedefault
boot
