Just for the archives: My splash screen is still working.

This is Chuck on a hill in the sun, from some FreeBSD website in 1024*768/256
indexed colors.
And all of my friends turn pale, when they see him a few seconds after the first
boot stage ;-)
BTW, if you want to see the log messages, press the shift button and the splash
screen will disappear. Found this by accident, is this somewhere in the docs?

Ciao
Siegbert
