Hello,
is it possible to use a splash screen yet with newcons? I've been looking at
the source code for VT, and it would appear there has been some work done
towards this?
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/dev/vt/vt.h
Also the wiki page shows limited support:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
I've tried the standard method of enabling a splash screen but it of course
does not work. I don't think I was able to get it to work with syscons either
whereas it used to work.
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/boot-splash.html
Is there another way? Or is it still not ready yet?

Hi!
Maybe you are already aware of it, but in 2014 there was a Google Summer
of Code project on improving the bootsplash:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2014/Bootsplash
It worked well with sc(4), but I don’t know wether it applies to vt(4)…
