Initially I renamed the .mp3 sound file and the phone still booted....but it took forever.
I assume it spent much of the time looking for the file. Don't bother, use the below method.
I replaced the wakeup.mp3 file with a 1 second file of silence and the boot audio is now gone. Boots just fine. This file is located in /system/media/audio/boot/ and is called "wakeup.mp3".
I realize this is a crude method of removing it, but it was also damn easy.
Boot time is unchanged.
Here is the replacement "silent" audio file I made and used:

Right click the link from your browser and "Save Target as" on your PC. Then you can move it to SD and use a file manager to replace the existing file. I renamed the old file as "wakeup.3pm".
Updated file: snups900, another user, improved my sound file. The link contains his file.
Mine was not truly silent....had a click in it. Thanks, snups900!
I use a File Manager from the Market called "Root Explorer". If you do not use a root-capable file manager you will not get the desired results.

As to the video animation, I am reluctant to rename it as it looks like an executable file. That could brick the phone.
Anyone know what type of file this is?
It is located in /system/bin/ and is called "bootanimation".
