Sure, but it depends upon your boot loader. If you are using grub,
you put 'quiet' on the command-line in /boot/grub/grub.conf. If using
LILO, you can use append="console=null" in lilo.conf. The latter
causes a bit of a problem later on because no kernel messages will
ever be sent to the console. This could be fixed by making your own
'init' which opens /dev/console for the three standard file numbers,
then execs the real /sbin/init. You can put the temporary init
program name on the command-line as well as init=/sbin/my.init.


Cheers,
