Yes. Add to grub's menu.lst typically after the timeout section.
You will probably also want to set the timeout  to 0 otherwise a message will appear to Press ESC to get to see the menu.

After adding those lines also it is showing,
Booting "TinyCore"
kernel /boot/bzImage
initrd /boot/tinycore.gz
I think hiddenmenu is to hide the menu, when we have two os.

If there are no config options, there may be compile time options.  Otherwise, editing the source could be a way.  An alternative would be to try another bootloader.

I got it done... Silent Grub

[removed]

Just copy package content files to /boot/grub/

and re-install grub, like
$ sudo grub
> root (hd0,0)
> setup (hd0)
>quit

Remember to add kernel boot options also: quiet loglevel=0


BBye

Mind posting what you did to get that?

Alhough, I guess there would be some source package on your site?

This is something I did some time ago for my board demos...

To get that I edited Stage2.c from Grub sources and recompiled it...

Im sorry I dont have the edited sources anymore, I just kept what I needed to achieve it... But I can tell you it was really simple change like some grub_printf routine.

If it wasn't obvious, the sources need to be provided as well... so it's pulled for now.

Here's a link that might be helpful though: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-grub@gnu.org/msg10567.html
