the bit at the beginning where it counts the memory and checks all the IRQs you mean?
Or the bit before windows where it usually says "loading windows"?

Thats the Power On Self Test thing (POST).
Im pretty sure its hard coded into the CMOS Chip, a custom BIOS would allow you to change it however, if you know how to code BIOS 
Lotus Elise 111R
Impreza WRX STi

with something like del (  ) it should be possible.
If you enter your bios (press del (not backspace) at the very beginging of boot up, when memory is checked etc) and go to Advanced Bios Settings (i think), and look for something like splash screen on bootup, or logo on bootup something along those lines.... you'll know if its the one because it will be enabled.
Disable that, save and exit.. job done.
Let me know if you cant find it.

i personally wouldnt bother, as you'd be playing with fire messing about with boot files.
But if you insist, take a read of this document.
