There is an ugly hack that can be used to do this, but it seems like a
--quiet option would be reasonable to have for this (and other)

It's hard to tell exactly what you're doing from your limited

needs to be. I'm curious to see your grub.cfg so far, and I may be
able to give you advice on how better to accomplish your goal.
