How to enable a bootsplash screen

Hi,

I've followed 
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/submit/2003-10/msg00004.html to 
enable a boot splash, but it didn't work.

This is an excerpt of my /boot/defaults/loader.conf:

[..]
splash_bmp_load="YES"           
splash_pcx_load="NO"       
vesa_load="YES"           
bitmap_load="YES"    
bitmap_name="dfly.bmp"      
bitmap_type="splash_image_data"
[..]
module_path="/;/boot;/modules"
[..]

The bootsplash bitmap is in place, too:
SchlesisPC# ls -al /boot/dfly.bmp
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  481078 Apr 10 18:54 /boot/dfly.bmp

When I boot, I didn't get a bootsplash. I get, as expected, the selection menu 
for DFly's boot options (e. g. with acpi, without acpi, ...) and after 
selecting one, I get the usual boot messages on screen. The necessary modules 
are loaded at boot time:
> kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1   29 0xc0100000 5b56ac   kernel
 2    1 0xc06b6000 3068     splash_bmp.ko
 3    1 0xc06ba000 55b8     vesa.ko
[..]

What do I miss?

Thomas
