OK, here's the background image in PCX format (for the
boot loader) and PNG format (so you can view it in your
web browser):

I've added instructions for DragonFly BSD to my wiki page.
Please refer to the section titled "Special notes for
DragonFly BSD" at the end of the page:

If everything goes right, it should look similar to this
screen shot:

I have tested it with a kernel from a DF 2.2 release ISO
in qemu only, which works fine (currently I don't have any
spare hardware dedicated to DragonFly, so I couldn't easily
test it on real silicon).

Best regards
  Oliver
