I can't for the life of me figure out how to regenerate the boot file...

I want to "nosplash" it, and I just can't find anything that works.

I find the "splash" screen annoying and I don't want to have keep pressing a key to make it go away. I like to see the messages...they tell me stuff.

How do I edit the configuration to suppress the splash?

How do I regenerate the boot files?

None of it is making any sense today.

There seems to be a parameter "rhgb" (Red Hat Graphical Boot) that needs
to be removed.

If you boot with Grub by editing /etc/default/grub then run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

If you boot with EFI then just edit /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg

See also the bottom of this page for an example: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb-qubes/

I haven't verified the above instructions will work, but hope they'll
get you started in the right direction.

Cheers,
