Speaking of splash screens (a bit far from the thread's original
topic), I've got my laptop set up to show the daemon-and-sunset
picture on boot, but it seems I now have an extremely small window of
time to press a key to get to the boot prompt.  What do I need to
insert to get this window back up to several seconds?  My loader.rc
file looks like this:

\ Loader.rc
\
\ Includes additional commands
include /boot/loader.4th

\ Reads and processes loader.rc
\ start

\ Unless set otherwise, autoboot is automatic at this point

load kernel
load -t splash_image_data daemon_640.bmp
load vesa
load splash_bmp
boot
