How to hide text on startup?

General Discussion
1

Hi all,
I’m running Dietpi on a Raspberry 4 and have set it to boot straight into Amiberry, and then into Workbench. Is there a way to hide the text of the dietpi start-up procedure so that I can have a more authentic Amiga startup?

Any help would be much appreciated.
Best,
Andrew

Welcome to our community. Theoretically you could try to add following into /boot/cmdline.txt

Adding

loglevel=0 vt.global_cursor_default=0

Alone should do it. The last one removes the blinking _, the boot logo is hidden in our default cmdline.txt. Actually makes sense to at least offer this as an option to be applied with Amiberry install, respectively when the autostart option is applied.

Can this be additionally replaced with the cool Dietpi logo, maybe even a moving object to indicate it is alive and booting?
