I recommend you should restore the original version of "/boot/defaults/loader.conf" first, append vesa_load="YES" line in your /boot/loader.conf and use only 320*200 size of images (according to 'man splash') such as --> /boot/loader.conf userconfig_script_load="YES" vesa_load="YES" splash_bmp_load="YES" bitmap_load="YES" bitmap_name="" After done, it must be work for you.
