Hi list,

System : 5.4-RELEASE-p7

I'm trying to change the default boot splash screen from beastie to bmp-fil=
e.

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 dc=
s=20
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=3D"YES"
snd_inch_load=3D"YES"
# ndis_load=3D"YES"
if_ndis_load=3D"YES"
# if_pff_load=3D"YES"
hw.ata.atapi_dma=3D"1"
loader_color=3D"YES"
splash_bmp_load=3D"YES"
bitmap_load=3D"YES"
bitmap_name=3D"splash.bmp"

In my kernel I have an "options    VESA".

I have a /boot/splash.bmp which is a 8 bpp 640x480 bitmap (from=20
http://www.baldwin.cx/splash/saturn_1_640.bmp) where I read the instruction=
s=20
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 whi=
th=20
commenting out in loader.rc the "include /boot/beastie.4th" and=20
"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 :-)
