Re: Splash progress config for kernel



Hello Travis,

I have image path in boot loader "menu=Boot NetBSD:vesa 1280x800;splash /logo.gif;boot netbsd" but it wont show up. Is there anything else to be done besides kernel options?


Thanks,
Jay

I haven’t tried to use SPLASHSCREEN in a while (a few years) but I vaguely recall needing to pass in an image path to the boot loader[1].

SPLASHSCREEN_PROGRESS has been retired for a while according to some CVS history[2][3], I’m not sure why I can’t find any discussion about it.

It looks like we still need to remove SPLASHSCREEN_PROGRESS from a few places including the options(4) man page and in parts of wscons that use WSDISPLAY_SPROGRESS.
