>Description:
When the system boot, the configured splash screen does not display.  I have tried modifying loader.conf to no avail.  The vesa module is compiled into the kernel.  I have the following in /boot/loader.conf:

# Show Splash Graphic
splash_bmp_load="YES"
bmp_load="YES"
bitmap_name="/boot/splash.bmp"

The dmsg shows the following error:
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (splash_bmp, 0xc06dd810, 0) error 2

I have made sure that the file is a 256 color uncompressed bmp.  It doesn't work with either uncompressed or RLE compressed bmps.  The image is 640x480.
