It means very few output to the console during bootup. You may test it
yourself by changing the kernel line at the grub boot screen. Press "a"
(without quotes) and

a) remove the "rhgb" and keep the "quiet", add a "3" to the end
see what happens during the boot until you get a login prompt

b) remove the "rhgb" and the "quiet", add a "3" to the end of the kernel
line
observe the boot process and the messages which appear on the console
