You're right, of course, Neil, but from the original post I believe we
are not talking about the bootsplash/fbsplash image but the grub menu
graphics:

"The gentoo background choosing menu" is what you get in the first part
of grub.conf:
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/gentoo.xpm.gz
not the silent or verbose splash defined by
title Gentoo_current (2.6.11-gentoo-r8)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda5
video=vesafb-tng:ywrap,mtrr,pmipal,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
splash=silent,theme:emergence quiet
CONSOLE=/dev/vc1
initrd /fbsplash-emergence
Now it's true that both are optional (you can just have a text menu with
colors and not a graphic background for the menu, and of course you can
just watch text scroll by on a black background during boot), but it
seems to me that the operative question here is where does this "Please
wait..." message come in?
I don't pay enough attention to GRUB's booting process to be sure, but
isn't that displayed before the GRUB menu comes up? Or is it just after
boot?
And which OS are you choosing from the menu again, maxim (assuming you
get to a menu)? Or does this affect all OSes in your menu?
