Bootsplash doesn't work

Hi,

I've tried to enable a bootsplash with 1.5.2 and 1.5.3, following 
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=splash&section=4, 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="splash.bmp"
bitmap_type="splash_image_data"
[..]
module_path="/;/boot;/modules"
[..]


The bootsplash bitmap is in place, too:

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  481078 Apr 14 16:07 /boot/splash.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:

Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1    8 0xc0100000 400a08   kernel
 2    1 0xc0501000 3068     splash_bmp.ko
 3    1 0xc0505000 55b8     vesa.ko
 4    1 0xc0580000 5ed0     snd_ich.ko
 5    2 0xc0586000 1d884    snd_pcm.ko
 6    1 0xc05a4000 c2c8     if_iwi.ko
 7    1 0xc05b1000 59064    acpi.ko

The problem was already reported a year ago 
(http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/bugs/2004-04/msg00138.html), but 
obviously with no solution, so take this as a reminder ;-)
