Jeff,

Did you install these apps via a PBI or ports? If you install them via 
ports, you need to make a sym-link from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/<script> -> 
/PCBSD/local/etc/rc.d/

The problem is that we don't parse /usr/local/etc/rc.d by default, since 
if you have duplicate scripts in /PCBSD/local/etc/rc.d and 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d, both will get run, often with disastrous results :) 
This is set in /etc/rc.conf.local BTW.

As for the boot-splash, that is correct. We have it disabled right now 
because on a sizable number of systems, we ran into problems with it 
enabled, and it messing up Xorg starting, often would freeze system, or 
crash. I'll be testing defaulting to the splash again in the future, and 
hopefully these issues have been resolved now :)
