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.
