right there. The other one is a twist off the original.

splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
is the one I use.
First, you cannot just use any image, it needs to be in the correct
format. Make sure you don't just rename myfile to myfile.xpm.gz !
With respect to hdX,Y, that depends on your partition layout. It really
depends where your grub sits in the partitions (nothing to do with MBR).
In my case, /boot is /dev/hda6, so in grub-speak it would be hd0,5. This
is simply where grub and menu.lst are located.
