You will also need
options "VM86"
options VESA # needs VM86 defined too!!
in your kernel config as well.
Try the following in /boot/loader.rc (change ``/dawn.bmp'' to the name
of a valid 256-colour Windows bitmap file, 320x200 in size if you
video card doesn't have VBE on-chip).
load /kernel
load vesa
load -t userconfig_script /kernel.config
load -t splash_image_data /dawn.bmp
load splash_bmp
autoboot
You will also need
options "VM86"
options VESA # needs VM86 defined too!!
in your kernel config as well.
