David, I'm a newbie so brace yourself. I may be way off base here, but I recently installed a splash screen on my BSD system. I realize it's not a critical system feature, but why couldn't you use it to "splash" your pre-login messages to the screen? Don't ask me how (but it shouldn't be that tough), it was just a thought.
