4.8 has the following
/boot/loader.conf
/boot/defaults/loader.conf
I edited both, and configured both individually.. with no success.
:::sample from /boot/loader.conf
userconfig_script_load="YES"
splash_bmp_load="YES"
bitmap_load="YES"
bitmap_name="splash.bmp"
:::sample from /boot/defaults/loader.conf
loader_conf_files="/boot/device.hints /boot/loader.conf
/boot/loader.conf.local /boot/nextboot.conf"
verbose_loading="NO" # Set to YES for verbose loader output
##############################################################
### Splash screen configuration ############################
##############################################################
splash_bmp_load="YES" # Set this to YES for bmp splash screen!
splash_pcx_load="NO" # Set this to YES for pcx splash screen!
vesa_load="NO" # Set this to YES to load the vesa module
bitmap_load="YES" # Set this to YES if you want splash
bitmap_name="/boot/splash.bmp" # Set this to the name of the bmp or pcx
file
bitmap_type="splash_image_data"
Like I said, tried every combination, the stuff off that well know
splash website (refers to 3.2) and some of the oddities with 5.0
(placement of bitmap file).
Anyone have any suggestion? Install is stock 4.8-Stable except for a
slimmed down kernel I compiled. I'm not aware of any kernel option
related to the slash. Also, is there a way I can get a verbose logging
of the boot process so I can track this down. Not that it's a big deal,
but when I dig into a new OS like this, if I can't do it - I make my
self succeed in order to learn the os better, or toss it aside as
non-mature.
