I'm happy to share Kyle.. ;-)
I just forgot about it when posting, sorry..

Anyway, first of all, the terrain file *must* be a RAW file, then it also *must* have \
the file extension .r32 (tested .raw, didn't work..).

Then the syntax is just as described in the documentation, but the numbers to use are \
not as many describe them, apparently it's been changed recently.

In my case I have a terrain file measuring 768x768 pixels, made for a 3x3 region \
grid, the grid layout is as I described initially, laid out on 3 simulators (1, 2 & \
3) as this: 3 3 3
2 2 2
1 1 1

The "lowest" position (SW) is located at 2000,2000 in the grid.

What confused me most was how to figure out how the load-tile should figure out how \
to map the tiles onto the regions correctly and seamlessly. It was easier than I \
thought.. ;-)

On ALL THREE of the simulators, I use this: "terrain load-tile 3x3-island.r32 3 3 \
2000 2000" The numbers after the file name are "file width in TILES", "file height in \
TILES" (Not pixels, but in region tiles..), then where ON THE ENTIRE GRID the \
starting point of the layout is, in my case my SW region, placed at 2000,2000 in the \
grid.

The load-tile function figures out from and to what points in the terrain file it \
should start mapping to the regions at hand, after all, all regions "knows" where in \
the grid they are.. ;-)

I hope this helps.. I thought I'd post it in the opensimulator wiki as well, but I \
just don't understand the wiki syntax.. So if anyone reading this do know how to work \
it, feel free to post it, I'm sure someone can be helped!

Hugs etc..
Suz.
