I've read the rest of this thread, and there is yet another way to get rid of the boot screen, plus switch your monitor into a higher text resolution at the same time. Use vga=ask And rerun lilo. The next time you boot, you hit return and you are presented with a full list of video modes that your card will support according to what is seen by the kernel. The second column numbers are hex numbers and will be accepted by lilo. You'll see something like 30C or 31A or other items, plus the character resolutions they produce. Try booting into different text resolutions and decide which one you like. After you decide, say you like 30C, you then put vga=0x030C into your lilo.conf and rerun lilo. After that you will boot into that resolution and the splash gui screen will not be there.
