Re: splash_bmp_load problems.

"bitmap_load="NO"
bitmap_name="/boot/splash.pcx"
splash_pcx_load="NO"

I was looking at the splash(4) stuff myself last week, and I seemed to
recall it expected a '.bmp' file, by default. I note this is described (see
above) as a type '.pcx' file, and further, that you seem to have
'splash_pcx_load' set to 'NO'.

Could this inconsistency be the cause of problems?
