Bootsplash

1. Find an image you want shown during boot (see example)
2. Clone the bootsplash package, replace the image and profit!

   git clone https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch
   cd PKGBUILDS/danctnix/bootsplash-danctnix
   # change the sha256sum for danctnix.png to 'SKIP'
   vim PKGBUILD
   # download your image
   wget some-image-url -O bootsplash.jpg
   # rotate it to face the right way up
   convert bootspalsh.jpg -distort SRT -90 danctnix.png
   # install!
   makepkg -sif
   # reboot to see it during the next startup
