I just tested, and when selecting grub the command line in the final system will contain 'quiet' even when using expert mode (which boots without it, double-checked in a console during install). Also, systemd-boot-installer won't pick-up the 'quiet' even when added manually to the command line when booting the installer (systemd-boot /does/ pick-up 'quiet' from the current system when installed in an existing system). It seems to me there are different mechanisms used during install and on manual installation of systemd-boot, because the former ends up with /etc/kernel/cmdline (containing only 'root=UUID=<UUID>'), but the latter doesn't. Kind regards, Andrei
