Afaik, it's not a change to a config file, it's a change in the way you generate the initramfs. If you compile it into the kernel (instructions on the Wiki; see How-to fbsplash), it will start up at the very start. If you load it as a separate initrd, you have to wait for the framebuffer to initialize before the splash can start (which takes a short while). Naturally, if you change from loading an initrd to compiling the initrd into the kernel, you do have to change a config file (grub.conf, to remove the initrd= line, since you no longer have one), but changing the file alone won't make any difference if you haven't changed the way you create the initrd in the first place.
