I've been sort of following this thread. I seem to remember you showing your
kernel config but I must have deleted that message, and I don't remember if

In your kernel configuration file, along with options "VM86", options "VESA"
and device vga0 at isa? port ? conflicts, you also have to have an entry that
says pseudo-device splash.
