>From the Kernel Boot manual
(http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/lkn/lkn_pdf/ch09.pdf):

quiet          Disable all log messages.
                 Set the default kernel log level to KERN_WARNING (4), which
                 suppresses all messages during boot except extremely
serious ones.
                 (Log levels are defined under the loglevel parameter.)
