Apparently the key is to insert a parameter splash=something, either in /boot/grub/menu.lst or via Yast (my preferred approach). But I'm still unclear on which of the following I should be inserting:

From my /boot/grub/menu.lst file. This is the default choice. ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title SUSE LINUX 9.2 kernel (hd0,7)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda8 vga=0x31a selinux=0 splash=0 acpi=off resume=/dev/hda2 desktop elevator=as showopts initrd (hd0,7)/boot/initrd The line starting with kernel is broken into 2 lines by my mailer. There are 3 lines there; title, kernel and initrd. splash=0 in my grub gives the blue top and bottom border on console 0 or Ctrl+Alt+F1 while booting and when the system is up and running. You almost had it right but there is an = sign between splash and its parameter. Forget the 'append splash' as a boot line parameter for grub. That kind of fits in lilo but needs 'append splash=0' to be more correct. The difference between lilo and grub is that lilo has it as the "append" line and grub has it as the "kernel" line. I believe the parameters are almost identical except for the drive/partition nomenclature. Been a while since I dealt with lilo. Don't have a working copy available here anymore. Stan
