If you would like the menu appear but not the Beastie picture you
might consider this patch:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=70231

But please be aware that this patch is not compatible with the
majority of FreeBSD developers.

You will rebuild the whole base system, won't you?
If not, cd /boot && patch -p4.
