Generally speaking, do the same as you would do with lilo or grub, except
running "lilo" do "mknbi".
Explanation (I hope I got this correctly):
The (bootsplash-enabled) kernel expects the splash screen to be appended
to the initrd. In RAM, that is. So no matter wether lilo or
netboot/etherboot load it there - main thing it ends up in RAM.
Probably setting a fixed VGA mode is a good idea too. You should select
the appropriate boot splash files.
