Hi there,

	I used to have a splash screen at startup.  Since upgrading
from 4.0 to 4.1 it is no longer displayed, however a black screen is 
displayed in its place in the same time frame that the splash screen
would normally appear. I made no changes to the kernel configuration (I
still have "pseudo-device splash") or the /boot directory tree. I've
also updated the source tree via cvsup and recompiled the userland /
kernel a few times since just incase something was broken.

	Below is a bit of system configuration that may pertain to 
this.  If anyone has any suggestions, please CC stab@obscurity.org
or cjengland@look.ca as I am not currently subscribed to the list.

Thanks in advance!

	-Chris England
