Well - after answering You I've found some more magic regarding
bootsplash (former implementation of splashes) in rc-scripts. It's in
99% made to be able to show percentage of work in the silent output. I'm
trying to make it usable with fbsplash as well.

Yes. It boots. The "Loading..." line isn't shown on the default tty (I
haven't checked if it is on the redirected one, as I deliberately use an
empty tty for silent splash and I output all the stuff to tty12 via the
kernel option console=tty12, because otherwise it'd screw up the splash
with debug messages).

I don't have any machine with serial console - sorry. Can't test that
out.

On the other hand I could try to make my laptop a serial terminal for my
desktop, or the other way around, but I haven't used serial terminal.

Thx 4 the discussion
