Bootsplash of vulcan's close-ness balusplash-0.2.xpm.gz copy that to /boot/grub and add it to your menu.lst
# general configuration: timeout 5 default 0 splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/balusplash-0.2.xpm.gz
mine is (hd0,2) because /boot/ is on hda3
You *might* need to then run something like # install-grub /dev/hdx where x is your drive (or sdx)
