Please, don't do this because if you have a wrong boot sequence (or a problem in it) you won't see it and can be stopped whith no way to resolve your problem.
Use the command "dmesg | more" to see you boot sequence after booting or go in the /var/adm directory. There, you'll find the "messages" file which receive most of the system messages. You'll find several log files also that you can edit.

Is this message sent to a log file or something? How can I look > at this after booting? This is just a stab in the dark. But could something like this be done in /etc/inittab?

I haven't tried it but maybe someone that understands the startup scripts better can flame me! Disclaimer: I don't know if this will work and have not tried it so don't blame me if it breaks your system. You have been warned!
