Add kernel boot parameters for quieter boot experience

[Githubguy132010]

Description

Currently, the project focuses on disabling beeps, but there are additional kernel boot parameters that could further enhance the "silent" experience by reducing other system noises and messages during boot.

Proposed Enhancement

Update the bootloader configurations (in efiboot/loader/entries/ and syslinux/) to include additional kernel parameters that reduce noise during boot:

Parameters to Add

• quiet - Suppresses most kernel messages during boot
• vga=current - Prevents mode switching which can cause beeps on some systems
• loglevel=3 - Reduces verbosity of kernel messages
• udev.log-priority=3 - Reduces udev log verbosity

Files to Modify

1. UEFI Bootloader Config

   In files under efiboot/loader/entries/, add these parameters to the existing options line:

   options ... quiet vga=current loglevel=3 udev.log-priority=3
   

2. SYSLINUX Config

   In files under syslinux/, add these parameters to the existing APPEND line:

   APPEND ... quiet vga=current loglevel=3 udev.log-priority=3
   

Expected Behavior

The system boot process should be quieter, with fewer messages displayed during boot, creating a more seamless and silent experience for users.

Documentation Update

The README should be updated to mention these additional boot parameters and explain their purpose in providing a quieter boot experience.

Priority
