Oliver, I think you're missing the OPs point here.
AIUI he wants to stop the initial text display, and just jump straight
to the graphical boot screen.
I'm not sure this is possible, without writing a great deal of code
yourself. Grub has to uncompress the kernel and exec it first, so you
may have to change grub to hide this behind a fancy progress bar.
I have to say that for novice users the idea of an *optional* graphical
shutdown process is pretty cool, though...
