FreeBSD Gods,

I call on you once again to help a frustrated newbie.  8^)

I am using FreeBSD 3.4 and wanted to jazz it up
a bit and configure it to load a splash screen
that I found over at http://www.baldwin.cx/splash/#intro

I followed the instructions there, they seemed pretty
straight forward.

I've verified that:

include /boot/loader.4th
start

was in my loader.rc file and that:

splash_bmp_load="YES"
bitmap_load="YES"

was in my /boot/loader.conf file.

The way I understood it, since I'm using
FreeBSD 3.4, I didn't think any extra
lines for the loader.rc were needed.

I copied the image (daemon_640.gif as /boot/splash.bmp)

Now, when I reboot, no splash screen appears.

Also, I had previously logged in as root and
attempted to add "load -t splash_image_data
/boot/splash.bmp" and "load splash_bmp" to
my loader.rc file but Vi wouldn't let me
save any changes.

Can anyone help me get this straightened out?

Thanks

Joe
