>Description:
The splash.4 man page is not clear, where the actual splash image should be
placed. After having read the man page, I thought it should go to /boot, when
in fact it should go to /boot/kernel.
I added this information to the man page.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Apply the following patch to the man page splash.4:
