Well, the bootsplash is handled by the kernel not by syslinux.  What
you can do is add the splash statement to the appended options for
your linux kernel, and if it has another bootsplash built in it will
use whatever you tell it.  In most linux versions "splash=verbose" (no
quotes of course) does the trick though I seem to recall there was one
where I had to use "splash=0" (might have been gentoo's prebuilt
kernels I think.)
