The loader.conf file is used to specify lots of load time options, used by loader(8). The most obvious use for it is to disable (or enable) the splash screen display. Some of the FreeBSD "distros" like PC-BSD use a splash screen by default, but if you are like me, you're going to want to watch FreeBSD while it goes to work. You can edit either /boot/loader.conf or, if you have a shared /boot/loader.conf, you can instead put local configuration stuff in /boot/loader.conf.local. So to turn of the splash screen shown by PC-BSD, you add or change the line:
splash_bmp_load="NO"
while "bitmap_name" is the name of the splash screen to load.
You can see helpful examples of loader.conf stuff in /usr/share/examples/bootforth/.
