HIya,
Im trying to find out how to add a bootsplash to 5.3. I've looked at the handbook and only saw details for 3.x.
Is it the same process??


I have a 320x200 bmp file already for this, i assume that is the
corrct size etc, as i read of a how-to for 3.x.


man 5 loader.conf

Tells you how to get a BMP or PCX sorted.




This works:

# cat /boot/loader.conf
splash_bmp_load="YES"
bitmap_load="YES"
bitmap_name="/boot/splash.bmp"

The trick is, according to splash(4), that
the bitmap must be a 256-color one.  Once
I got that fixed, I have it going now....
