This is usually an indication of broken proxies who cache images and
show you a stale copy of the image.  Try posting your problem reports
by email, if you can't disable proxying.

error 2 is probably a reference to ENOENT from /usr/include/sys/errno.h

This means that one of the files mentioned in your loader.conf fails to
load, because a file is missing.  Are you sure that splash_bmp_load is
the correct line there?  It looks like the loader is trying to load
splash_bmp.ko and fails because /boot/kernel/splash_bmp.ko cannot be
found in your root filesystem.
