Why not use fbspalsh and set splash to silent instead of verbose.

kernel /2.6.10-gentoo-r6/kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3
video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED] splash=verbose,theme:emergence

This will give you a screeen much like the one shown when booting a
live cd. You need to emerge splashutils though.
