[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi list, System : 5.4-RELEASE-p7 I'm trying to change the default boot splash screen from beastie to bmp-file. Here's my /boot/loader.rc : \ Loader.rc \ $FreeBSD: src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc,v 1.2 2003/11/21 19:01:02 dcs Exp $ \ \ Includes additional commands include /boot/loader.4th \ Reads and processes loader.rc start \ Tests for password -- executes autoboot first if a password was defined check-password \ Load in the boot menu include /boot/beastie.4th \ Start the boot menu beastie-start And my /boot/loader.conf : # snd_driver_load="YES" snd_inch_load="YES" # ndis_load="YES" if_ndis_load="YES" # if_pff_load="YES" hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" loader_color="YES" splash_bmp_load="YES" bitmap_load="YES" bitmap_name="splash.bmp" In my kernel I have an "options VESA". I have a /boot/splash.bmp which is a 8 bpp 640x480 bitmap (from http://www.baldwin.cx/splash/saturn_1_640.bmp) where I read the instructions on how to change the splash screen too (and I did a "man splash"...). But when I boot my pc, I dont get a nice bitmap splash screen ! I tried whith commenting out in loader.rc the "include /boot/beastie.4th" and "beastie-start" lines, but then I get no bootmenu at all. How do I get a nice splash screen ? Hints and/or tips are welcome :-) -- FreeBsdBeni.
