Which slash screen are you talking about? On GRUB, when the system is booting via init, at the login manager, or a splash once you've logged in and the window manager is loading?

[edit] Oh, bootsplash - my bad.

For Debian, you have to recompile your kernel:

I've read many other modern distros have bootsplash enabled in the kernel by default, but I don't know for sure. This guide looks a bit more generic.
