will that work, I thought that the grub device needed to be specified!

1.1 I have my image, now what?

    1. Gzip your xpm file and put it into your /boot/GRUB directory (or to any directory of a /dev/hda1 partition). (do: `gzip myfile.xpm`)
    2. Edit your GRUB config file (aka /etc/GRUB.conf) and add this line:
    splashimage=(hd0,0)/GRUB/myfile.xpm.gz
    NOTE: Change the partition and directory according to your system's setup.
    3. reboot and cross your fingers
