It's pretty easy to get the graphical boot, but the progress bar on the other hand I haven't figured out.
Just install bootsplash, build your kernel with the appropriate options (I think the site listed in the other post says which otherwise I can boot up my laptop to check), and give lilo/grub a vga= line. That'll give you graphical boot during boot and then to get graphical terminals you need to "rc-update add bootsplash default". To get the progress bar, theoretically you only have to append "splash=silent" to the kernel line in lilo or grub's config. Unfortunately, as I read before somewhere, the default init scripts in gentoo don't support the progress bar and also, I kept getting errors about the framebuffer not having enough room for the silent splash screen. YMMV. -- Michael Golden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
