</h3>

<p>
The splash screen is the picture shown during system start-up.
<ul>
  <li><em>tshiza=0</em> -- The splash screen is switched off. This may be useful with very old monitors or if some error occurs.</li>
  <li><em>tshiza=umlembelele</em> -- Activates splash, kernel and boot messages are still shown.</li>
  <li><em>tshiza=ngokuthula</em> -- Activates splash, but no messages. Instead a progress bar is drawn.</li>
</ul>
