SC_SPASH_SCREEN is for the splashkit support -- a way to display a
graphical logo on the text console during startup a la Windows 95.   See
ftp://ftp.gsoft.com.au/misc/splashkit-980202.tar.gz  for the latest (may
require -current tho).

pc98 is a i386-ish architecture popular in Japan.  A group there ported
FreeBSD to it.
