+    <heading>How do I install a splash screen and where do I find them?
+    </heading>
+
+    <p>Just prior to the release of FreeBSD 3.1, a new feature was
+      added to allow the display of &quot;splash&quot; screens during
+      the boot messages. The splash screens currently must be a 256
+      color bitmap (<tt>*.BMP</tt>) or ZSoft PCX
+      (<tt>*.PCX</tt>) file.  In addition, they must have a
+      resolution of 320x200 or less to work on standard VGA adapters.
+      If you compile VESA support into your kernel, then you can use
+      larger bitmaps up to 1024x768. Note that VESA support requires
+      the <tt>VM86</tt> kernel option to be compiled into the
+      kernel.  The actual VESA support can either be compiled directly
+      into the kernel with the <tt>VESA</tt> kernel config option
+      or by loading the VESA kld module during bootup.</p>
+
+    <p>To use a splash screen, you need to modify the startup files
+      that control the boot process for FreeBSD.  The files for this
+      changed prior to the release of FreeBSD 3.2, so there are now
+      two ways of loading a splash screen:
+      
+    <itemize>
+      <item>FreeBSD 3.1
+
+       <p>The first step is to find a bitmap version of your splash
+         screen.  Release 3.1 only supports Windows bitmap splash
+         screens.  Once you've found your splash screen of choice
+         copy it to <tt>/boot/splash.bmp</tt>.  Next, you need to
+         have a <tt>/boot/loader.rc</tt> file that contains the
+         following lines:
+
+       <verb>
+           load kernel
+           load -t splash_image_data /boot/splash.bmp
+           load splash_bmp
+           autoboot
+       </verb>
+      </item>
+
+      <item>FreeBSD 3.2+
+
+       <p>In addition to adding support for PCX splash screens,
+         FreeBSD 3.2 includes a nicer way of configuring the boot
+         process.  If you wish, you can use the method listed above
+         for FreeBSD 3.1.  If you do and you want to use PCX, replace
+         <tt>splash_bmp</tt> with <tt>splash_pcx</tt>.  If,
+         on the other hand, you want to use the newer boot
+         configuration, you need to create a
+         <tt>/boot/loader.rc</tt> file that contains the
+         following lines:
+
+       <verb>
+           include /boot/loader.4th
+           start
+       </verb>
+
+       <p>and a <tt>/boot/loader.conf</tt> that contains the
+         following:
+
+       <verb>
+           splash_bmp_load="YES"
+           bitmap_load="YES"
+       </verb>
+                 
+       <p>This assumes you are using <tt>/boot/splash.bmp</tt>
+         for your splash screen.  If you'd rather use a PCX file,
+         copy it to <tt>/boot/splash.pcx</tt>, create a
+         <tt>/boot/loader.rc</tt> as instructed above, and
+         create a <tt>/boot/loader.conf</tt> that contains:
+
+       <verb>
+           splash_pcx_load="YES"
+           bitmap_load="YES"
+           bitmap_name="/boot/splash.pcx"
+       </verb>
+      </item>
+    </itemize>
+
+    <p>Now all you need is a splash screen.  For that you can surf
+      on over to the gallery at <htmlurl
+      url="http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/splash/"
