Good idea. One thing though: After applying your patch the system _does_ print 
the bootcount messages "Hit any key to stop autoboot: ..." even if 
the "silent" variable is set. This was not done with the previous 
implementation and is not intended. Could you please rework your patch, that 
no message is printed here?

And please update the README.silent documentation too to match the updated 
implementation.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
