What I was looking for is called the "splash screen". It comes up at
1024x768 while the kernal is booting up. I had to run mkinitrd to create a
new initial ramdisk with the "splash picture" in it, then I had to run
"lilo" to rewrite the boot loader.

Full instructions can be found at:

Again, thanks to all who replied with help!
