You need to change the console log level and possibly change syslog.conf. To change console log level, either boot without "debug" on the command line, preferably with "quiet" on the command line. In /etc/syslog.conf look for anylines of the form: kern.* /dev/console and either comment it out completely, or change the '*' to kern.notice /dev/console
