giu boot loader is nicer to look at. The post boot message makes the N900 look like it going to break lol. i don't mind it on the computer or my ps3 though but those are handy when i'm trying to find out what drivers and processes are running and failed during boot time. For N900, it a little pointless since most users just want to dual boot. They don't care much about those preboot messages.

but if it's not possible to somewhat hide the text and replace it with an animation or still image then it won't be can't do much. lol.
