As said right above, you need to have a framebuffer-enabled console to
see the penguin(s)[1] (see "Console Drivers > Frame-buffer support" in
the kernel configuration menu; you have to answer Y to "developement
and/or incomplete code" to be able to enable it).
[1] Actually, you can see more than one penguin[2], since the number of
penguins is supposed to be equal to the number of CPUs your system has.
[2] The common alternate method to see more than one penguin is to get
drunk before watching. But this is bad. Really. Don't do this at home.
