I have a splash screen working in grub.

The image is in the /boot/grub/themes/myTheme folder:

Similar to entries like these:

I have package "grub-theme-breeze" installed, then customized that.



Now for a confession: I'm not even sure if I'm on a UEFI system.

There's an 8MB /dev/sda1, however when I mount it the only thing I see 
is "/lost+found", so I suspect I'm using MBR.
