Well, first of all I hope you know about the "quiet" parameter that shuts up the kernel. Yes I've been using this for a while, but I'd like the system to be even more silent on boot.
To silence init, you'll have to patch the source:
--- sysvinit-2.86/src/init.c.orig 2007-11-13 20:59:36.778419894 -0400 +++ sysvinit-2.86/src/init.c 2007-11-13 21:00:50.756134130 -0400 @@ -2222,7 +2222,6 @@ break; } if (loglevel > 0) { - initlog(L_VB, "Entering runlevel: %c", runlevel); write_utmp_wtmp("runlevel", "~~", runlevel + 256 * oldlevel, RUN_LVL, "~"); thislevel = runlevel; prevlevel = oldlevel; Did you write this patch? If so do you mind if I use it under the same license as sysvinit?
Alternatively, you can try out other init alternatives (such as initng, cinit, etc), or you can just ask the king of spain for some help ;) I've been toying with the idea of trying other inits aswell, but I like sysvinit.
