Hello Vincent,
thank you for answer.

This ended with no splash screen at all. At boot time I get these messages:

Reading files needed to boot...
(Re)generating splash steps for:sed: can't read /etc/inittab, no such 
file of directory
And usual text boot messages continue to appear with no graphics whatsoever.

Sorry, I don't understand, should I change this path in 
/etc/splashy/config.xml ?
And where do I create /lib/init/rw , in my root filesystem or in 
initramfs image?

This helped indeed.

With kind regards,
