That's the Grub menu - you can get rid of that simply by setting Grub to boot
straight into the default system without waiting for input. As a safety
feature (in case you need the menu back one day) you can also set it to
reappear if you hold the shift key during booting the machine.

Just look up one of the numerous guides to what you can do with Grub (note
that Android uses the original version of Grub - 0.97 as shown on your
screenshot - and not Grub 2) to find out how to change this. Grub is the
standard boot loader for most Linux distributions, so there is plenty of good
information already out there telling you what's possible and how to do it.

Grub also supports the idea of a "splash screen", which I think would do what
you want there. Basically it means it will show a graphical image (it can
also be animated, to show background progress for example) instead of the
plain text display. Again, plenty of Grub tutorials and guides will tell you
how this is done on standard Linux systems.


Regards,


Antony.
