Hi all,

I have looked everywhere for info on 2 boot loader issues:

1. I have a workstation that dual boots WinXP and FreeBSD. The boot menu
looks as follows:

    F1 ???
    F2 FreeBSD
       
    Default: F2

The F1 ??? is Windows XP. Is there any way I can change to look like:
    
    F1 WindowsXP
    F2 FreeBSD
       
    Default: F2


2. The other question I have is to do with splash screens:

I have compiled my kernel with the options:

pseudo-device   splash
options         VESA


and my /boot/loader.conf looks as follows:

userconfig_script_load="YES"
autoboot_delay="1"
splash_bmp_load="YES"            
splash_pcx_load="NO"          
vesa_load="YES"                  
bitmap_load="YES"               
bitmap_name="/boot/splash.bmp" 
bitmap_type="splash_image_data"


Yet it doesn't display the /boot/splash.bmp file (which is a
320x200x8bit bitmap)

Have I missed anything?

Thanks all...
