Silencing Boot Messages / missing quiet parameter?

I'm not aware of the quiet parameter being dropped, so I guess it's
still there. You need to pass it when loading the speakup module. On a
debian squeeze system, I have a file called speakup.conf in
/etc/modprobe.d, which reads in part:

# options for speakup

options speakup quiet=1

This is the speakup that comes with squeeze, not the latest one, and it
works for me as expected.
