You will have to convert the BMP images to png or gif.
Try something like this:

# start of symbol.sym
Symbol
  Name 'circle'
  Type ELLIPSE
  Filled TRUE
  Points 1 1 END
END

Symbol
  Name 'dashed-circle'
  Type ELLIPSE
  Filled TRUE
  Points 1 1 END
  Style 5 5 END
END

Symbol
   Name 'target-1'
   Type PIXMAP
   Image '/data/mdata/symbols/markers/target-1.png'
END
# end of symbol.sym
