You can use a black splash image but pressing "Esc" will still showing
the booting messages.

If you want to completely disable these messages I think there's a kernel
option you can toggle on/off but, would you prefer to recompile the
kernel just for this? :-?

Adding "quiet nosplash" to the kernel command line should remove MOST of
the messages.
