If --splash was noted in guide problem would be resolved

I'll go ahead and fix this one, but just for future reference, please note that the guide had a "Disclaimer :  This document is not valid and is not maintained anymore." notice at the very top -- normally we wouldn't touch a document marked unmaintained.

I did some digging, and determined that --gensplash is also deprecated, so I fixed stuff where I could to use --splash.
