Maybe ...

If you edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf you will see the following entry
on the kernel line:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-xxx ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet

(xxx is the actual version you have and smp, etc.)

If you remove the rhgb and quite it will have the desired effect on
shutdown ... but it will also have an effect on startup.

Also, during the shutdown, until X stops and shifts to console, you
won't see any of the steps, but all will show once X exits.
