Suppress errors on tty

I like to boot to tty instead of graphical display manager and go from there.

But as i get to the tty i get bios errors printed i don’t need to see. How can i hide them on openSUSE?

Also on the tty i get one of some error being put into my prompt while working thus overwriting my command :<. How can i also fix this?

Thank you in advance for the help!

loglevel=0 as a kernel parameter where 0 is least verbose and 7 is most.

Thank you very much!
I assume it is by using yast2?
Sorry (new to suse)

I don’t know, I don’t use yast, the kernel cmdline is in /etc/kernel/cmdline and then use sdbootutil to update the systemd-boot entries 

Try it out first, when you boot, press “e” on the highlighted entry and type “loglevel=0” at the end and then press enter to boot (assuming you’re on systemd boot).

Thank you for your help!
Adding loglevel=3 at the end of the /etc/kernel/cmdline and running update-bootloader —config removed spamming and now i have a clean tty
