  According to the comment in file "/boot/defaults/loader.conf", the file 
"/boot/defaults/loader.conf" must be untouched but edit whatever you want in
"/boot/loader.conf" instead.

  I recommend you should restore the original version of
"/boot/defaults/loader.conf" first, append vesa_load="YES" line in 
your /boot/loader.conf and use only 320*200 size of images (according to 'man 
splash') such as

--> /boot/loader.conf

userconfig_script_load="YES"
vesa_load="YES"
splash_bmp_load="YES"
bitmap_load="YES"
bitmap_name="<your_splash_file_with_full_path>"

After done, it must be work for you.
Cheer,
