- enable it in your kernel - set /boot/loader.conf like so: splash_bmp_load="YES" bitmap_load="YES" bitmap_name="/boot/splash.bmp" - install a bmp in /boot/splash.bmp - it must be 8bit, 320x200 IIRC it stays up for most of the boot, but it's been some time since I used it. I had a URL for splash screen images, but it appears to be dead. +---- Craig Williamson (ENZ) wrote: | Hi All, | | I was looking through the kernel config and boot config files to see | if I could tweak a few settings, and something grabbed me.
