Hello,
is it possible to use a splash screen yet with newcons? I've been looking at the source code for VT, and it would appear there has been some work done towards this?
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/dev/vt/vt.h
Also the wiki page shows limited support:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
I've tried the standard method of enabling a splash screen but it of course does not work. I don't think I was able to get it to work with syscons either whereas it used to work.

Is there another way? Or is it still not ready yet?
