Just to add a "me, too". Also, when I use the splash screen, and put
up a BMP file, it shows all yellow (like putting a yellow filter on a
camera lens). This used to happen before the new console driver, but
only when the VESA module was used.

VESA: v3.0, 4096k memory, flags:0x1, mode table:0xf026ae9e (1000022)
VESA: STB Velocity 128 (RIVA 128) 
VESA: set_mode(): 24(18) -> 28(1c)


Another aspect of the splash screen -- it (i.e. the splash image)
dissappears before the boot process is over:

[bunch of probes...]
npx0 on motherboard
npx0: INT 16 interface
VESA: set_mode(): 28(1c) -> 24(18)
Waiting 2 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
ahc0:A:6: refuses synchronous negotiation. Using asynchronous
transfers
changing root device to wd0s3a
da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
[more SCSI probing of drives]


The splash image dissappears at the VESA: line, even though there are
more boot probes going on. Is this normal?
