I would like to have a splash display during boot. I have edited the

dosent work. Where am I going wrong.
Any help appreciated.
Daniel - BSD rocks!
These settings work fine on my system:
# splash screen settings
splash_bmp_load="YES"
bitmap_load="YES"
bitmap_name="/boot/splash.bmp"
Note that you can only use 256 colour Bitmap images.
and size should be 320x200
Last time I used one anyway.

You are wrong.
I am right. I was forced to change the size many times to get the
image to look correct and 320x200 did the trick. I don't switch to
1024x768 on my 20" monitor until I start X11. Perhaps this explains
the difference.
This might be a problem with the VESA compliance of your video card. But
generally, it does work. I'm using a 1024x768x8 splash image on several
machines with ATI and NVIDIA cards.
No kidding? These are the same brands I'm using. The ATI's are PCI
(onboard ATI - TYAN SMP motherboards) and the nVidia's are AGP. They're
"higher end" models as well. Must be the way I build the kernel
regarding boot/ console. Oh well, no complaints. Just interesting to
hear.
