So this is now implemented in CVS - you can boot the kernel passing the 
"console=null" parameter, and it will be utterly silent until the 
login/shell starts.

The shell writes to the serial port because a shell needs IO from 
somewhere.  By default, this is /dev/ttyS0, the first serial port in the 
system.

If your app neds to run instead of the shell, then you just configure 
init not to run a shell, but instead to launch your app.

Regards,

John
