 Tom, but you have an absolute path to the image in your loader.conf, right?
 
 I checked the docu now once again, and every piece of it including the splash 
 mini-FAQ says, the splash image should go into /boot. I found the solution in 
 /boot/defaults/loader.conf, where it is said that the image must be located 
 somewhere in the module_path. The default for this however is 
 "/boot/kernel;/boot/modules/" so a splash image in /boot isn't found.
 
 I think there are two solutions:
 
 1) Add /boot to the module_path in /boot/defaults/loader.conf like
 "/boot/kernel;/boot/modules/;/boot"
 
 2) Remove all examples of images in the documentation, which use relative 
 paths and substitute the absolute paths.
 
 Mike, do you think there might be some problems with solution #1? It would be 
 easier to correct, but maybe #2 is the cleaner way. I would create the diffs 
 for the man pages and conf-files, so you only had to commit them.
 
 Ciao
