Description Steven Harms 2025-05-04 07:56:53 UTC 
Given that the boot_mute function is presently, and confusingly (SEE: bug #286556), de facto used to display a beastie orb + logo graphic during boot up while using vt(4), it should retain its effect to login prompt (or display manager intervention).

This is confirmed by Warner Losh[1]:

> The logo + beastie orb is the preferred way for graphics
> consoles to have graphics all the way from the boot loader
> until X11 starts.
