            Bug ID: 286567
           Summary: boot_mute should provide means for changing overlay
                    image
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sgharms@stevengharms.com

Given that (per bug #286556), boot_mute is used to signal "put up an image over
hardware init and rc startup" (although it fails to do the latter per bug
#286559), users should have the option of configuring that image through some
sort of loader.conf(5) hint.

The change here would be to:

1. Document the option value
2. Provide the option / respect the option

When under syscons(4) versus vt(4), options such as these were surfaced in the
kernel via  bitmap_name and splash_bmp_load
