Hmm, I don't have a /boot/loader.conf, all my splash stuff is in
/boot/loader.rc:
load /kernel
load vesa
load -t userconfig_script /kernel.config
load -t splash_image_data /dawn.bmp
load splash_bmp
autoboot
The splash screen (/dawn.bmp) works perfectly :)
BTW, I'm running 3.3-STABLE (the same thing worked with 3.1-R as well)
