Just to avoid funny errors.... Obviously, Dotan referrs to removing
splash from the boot options. 
When you are in the menu, press 'e' while the boot is highlighted, then
select the command line (the second that will be shown to you) and press
'e' again.
You my now edit the boot line, remove 'splash' from there (and quiet too
if you want more messages), press 'ESC' to go back and then 'b' to
boot.
