Description David-John Miller 2004-02-10 09:41:24 UTC

When I looked into the "gen_init.sh" script the support was not there for different bootsplash screens if you had configured those in the /etc/conf.d/bootsplash file.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.enabel bootsplash in genkernel.conf
2.run genkernel
3.the bootscreen will be the same no matter what boot screen is configured on your system



Expected Results:  
created a splash screen like the one currently displaying on the system

actually, probably need to go more in-depth than this with
stuff for grabbing the desired config off the command line,
so we don't have to do an environment-var ...
I'll look into this.
