Looking forward to hearing about this; I have no BSD box to test on..

I infer you already solved this from your later emails reporting
successful lurker usage.

For the archive and completeness however:
	lurker generates all pages dynamically as an error document handler
	therefore, splash/index.html will get created dynamically
	the index.html in the root directory (which is broken right now btw)
		is supposed to send your browser to splash/index.xml|html
		based on its capabilities.

Point. This is a stupid error message. :-)
I have added more informative message.
