I am having a little problem, and I am stumped. The initial splash
screen on a 4.1-STABLE machine is not working. It used to work fine
under 4.1-STABLE, but has been broken since a recent make-world and
mergemaster (source from a Sep 15 CVSup).
I had not touched the /boot/loader.conf, nor have the bitmaps been
modified. The machine is a IBM ThinkPad 600E. Here is some relevant
info,
[146:~] cd /boot
[147:/boot] cat loader.conf
splash_bmp_load="YES"
bitmap_name="/boot/daemon.bmp"
bitmap_load="YES"
autoboot_delay="0"
[148:/boot] ls -l daemon.bmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 65078 Aug 16 13:31 daemon.bmp
[149:/boot] file daemon.bmp
daemon.bmp: PC bitmap data, Windows 3.x format, 320 x 200 x 8
[150:/boot] dmesg | head -15

From the dmesg, it looks like everything loads up just fine (meaning
the right stuff is in the kernel and no syntax errors in the config
files), but there ain't no pretty picture during the boot. Well, the
blank blue screen I get is actually not too bad, but it is not the
splash image I want.
I have tried it with another image that has worked in the past with
identical results. To repeat, this broke after a 4.1-STABLE to
newer 4.1-STABLE build. Anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks.
