The following reply was made to PR docs/54009; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Siegbert Baude <siegbert.baude@gmx.de> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, msmith@FreeBSD.org Cc: trhodes@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: docs/54009: Clarify the location of the splash image in the splash man page Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2003 18:16:32 +0200 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 Siegbert
