Take a pic of your family, convert it to sepia tone or other monochromatic tinting, and shrink and convert to 16 color. Forgot what the file name for the boot.bmp is, but that is all you need. A BMP in the windows directory downconverted to 640x480x4bit (for win 95/98/Me). Was there a particular image you wanted? Or just wanted to browse?

Check out this site: http://www.wincustomize.com/Skins.aspx?LibID=32

BootSkin is a free boot image chnage application and it has a huge gallery of boot images.  I hope this helps.
