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 Arial Narrow-- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket? --Apple-Mail-2--514954433--
