First, thanks for the boot splash!

I followed the instrustions but it didn't work for me. It just locked up 
during boot with "LILO 2.5.7" In the upperleft of my screen.
Also lilo wouldn't let me put:
install=bmp
/boot/boot-img68a.bmp

so I put:
install=/boot/boot-img68a.bmp
and lilo ran fine. I did this after "lilo -E /boot/boot-img68a.bmp" and 
answering "w then y, y" of corse.
