Hello there, A few weeks ago Joseph J. Barbish has contributed a section on boot time splash screens for the FreeBSD Handbook [1], and after a short discussion it was requested for comments whether to be really included it or not [2]. It received a very positive feedback on the topic, so I created the SGML version of it, that you can study in form of a patch [3] and a compiled HTML page [4]. Please, review, comment and send me your ideas on how to make it better (and fix it up). Obviously, because I am not a native speaker of English, it may contain mistakes (I am sure), so review of native speakers are the most welcome, however review of avid users of the presented boot time splash screen feature are also important for this patch. Thank you for the replies in advance. Cheers, :g PS: For your information, after its commit, I plan to rewrite the corresponding FAQ entry about splash screens to reference this section of the Handbook.
