Just for the archives: My splash screen is still working. su-2.04# uname -a FreeBSD mycomputer.mydomain.de 4.1.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE #0: Thu Oct 19 02:38:07 CEST 2000 myname@mycomputer.mydomain.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL i386 su-2.04# bash-2.04$ cat /boot/loader.conf # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # autoboot_delay="2" userconfig_script_load="YES" splash_bmp_load="YES" bitmap_load="YES" bash-2.04 su-2.04# ls -l /boot/splash.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 787510 9 Aug 07:20 /boot/splash.bmp su-2.04# This is Chuck on a hill in the sun, from some FreeBSD website in 1024*768/256 indexed colors.
