Gensplash to all Consoles Solution? Maybe.

I had trouble setting splashes to all ttys except tty1. I opened the /etc/rc.d/gesplash file and commented out the 2>/dev/null section in the following lines

/sbin/splash_util --tty="${TTY}" -m v -t "${theme}" -c setcfg #2>/dev/null
/sbin/splash_util --tty="${TTY}" -m v -t "${theme}" -c setpic #2>/dev/null
/sbin/splash_util --tty="${TTY}" -c on #2>/dev/null

After that I used /etc/rc.d/gensplash restart and noticed the following errors

Can't open config file /etc/splash//1024x768.cfg.
No verbose picture specified in the theme.

I copied the files contained in the folder /etc/splash/darch to the folder /etc/splash commented out the line

/sbin/splash_util --tty="${TTY}" -m v -t "${theme}" -c setpic 2>/dev/null

and after running /etc/rc.d/gensplash restart everything was ok. Splash to all of the ttys.

Maybe this is valid only for my system. I don't really know...

No, there still is a problem. If I put the gensplash to the daemons section in rc.conf It produces the error

FBIOSPLASH_SETSTATE failed, error code 22

If I run /etc/rc.d/gesplash manually after the boot process everything is ok... What is happening?...

to solve this error message you have to copy your favorite config file to the /etc/splash directory.
