How to achieve Quiet Boot

To achieve Quiet Boot on your Raspberry you will have to access and edit the cmdline.txt and config.txt. The following tutorial explains how to access and edit these files.

1. Access the cmdline.txt file to edit.
2. Add the following to your /boot/cmdline.txt: 

   consoleblank=1

   Note: This already exists in emteria.OS for RPi but is set to 0.

   loglevel=0

   Note: Not provided in emteria.OS for RPi.

3. Access the config.txt file to edit.
4. Add the following to your /boot/config.txt:

   disable_splash=1

   Note: Not provided in emteria.OS. This will remove the RPi colored image at startup.

This will provide a completely quiet startup with only bootanimation set.
