Don't supposed you'd be willing to settle for some ASCII art, huh?  I can
pretty easily see you configuring specifying a text file in yaboot.conf, say
asciisplash=/etc/yaboot_splash.txt, and having yaboot dump that to screen
with its existing prom_printf()'s.

One of many image-to-ascii converters:

But, I'm guessing you actually want to render binary images, huh?  :-)
