 If you look at the Beastie Boot menu, it's really two parts:  the menu 
 itself, and the image.  Why not make the two parts independent?  It's 
 not like one actually depends on the other.
 
 In fact, by making the two independent, you open the door for people to 
 create their own custom logos.  What's wrong with that?
 
 Ship FreeBSD with the boot menu enabled, the beastie image disabled, and 
 with a knob for putting in custom images.
 
 Voila!  Everybody wins.  Those that just want a menu (which is very 
 useful), can have just a menu.  Those that want a menu and the beastie, 
 can have that.  Those that want a menu and a custom image can have 
 that.  And those that want neither the menu nor the image can have that 
 as well.
 
 Why is this such a big deal??
