Did you created /dev/tty1? From the ebuild:

 * It appears that the /dev/tty1 character device doesn't exist on
 * the root filesystem. This will prevent the silent mode from working
 * properly. You can fix the problem by doing:
 *   mount --bind / /lib/splash/tmp
 *   mknod /lib/splash/tmp/dev/tty1 c 4 1
 *   umount /lib/splash/tmp

That did the trick for me.
