Hi;

I have to confirm that KGI4BSD, is effectively dead. There was never enough
developer interest anyways :(.

In any case, if it were to resurrect one day, the i386 port always depended on
having VESA too, so - as has been mentioned in this list before - initializing
VESA from the boot loader, before the kernel, would be a good idea. 

FWIW, I'm afraid I was never able to use the normal VGA modes for the splash
screen either.

cheers,

   Pedro.
