Thanks Iñigo and Gertjan,

Rebuilding the kernel without the animation seems doable, but changing the bootloader setup sounds a bit risky to experiment with.

I did poke around a bit though. If I'm correct the DR uses RedBoot as a bootloader and /dev/mtd2 as the location to store the Redboot config. If I dd /dev/mtd2 I get something like:

Code:

boot_script
delta init
delta waves
delta erase 15
delta image
ifwarm fis load kernel
ifwarm exec -c "console=ttymxc0 deltainit=1 root=/dev/mtdblock5 rootfstype=jffs2"
fis load kernel_recovery
exec -c "console=ttymxc0 deltainit=1"

I'm guessing one would have to remove "delta image" and "delta erase 15" to start without the splash screen? I have no idea how to do this safely though.

Edit: I tried editing the Redboot config using dd, but it seems to be read-only...
