It is under the GENERIC kernel configuration of NetBSD-6.1.4: # enable splash screen support; requires genfb or radeonfb #options SPLASHSCREEN It looks like, at minimum, you have to build your own kernel with that option enabled. I've never tried it, so I don't know what other requirements there might be to make it work. I did find a blog posting that might be useful though: http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/bx/blosxom.cgi/index.front?-tags=vesa -- Roy Bixler <[email protected]> "The fundamental principle of science, the definition almost, is this: the sole test of the validity of any idea is experiment." -- Richard P.
