I guess I can mention this since it is on the wiki... StartPatch, easy and works well in this specific case with out excess configuration or otherwise (vs. PreLoader and some others). I hope this thread will be helpful to others interested. Thanks again to bg.by themunchkinman - Homebrew General
Followup: I went ahead and ran the system update, which included the "disclaimer of doom" which can only be declined by holding the power button for 4 seconds.
