Boot splash screens in 5.3
HIya, Im trying to find out how to add a bootsplash to 5.3. I've looked at the handbook and only saw details for 3.x. Is it the same process?? I have a 320x200 bmp file already for this, i assume that is the corrct size etc, as i read of a how-to for 3.x. -- Theres no place like ::1 Thanks, SimonB ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This works: # cat /boot/loader.conf splash_bmp_load=YES bitmap_load=YES bitmap_name=/boot/splash.bmp The trick is, according to splash(4), that the bitmap must be a 256-color one. Once I got that fixed, I have it going now Kevin Kinsey ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
