You need to modify /etc/gettytab . . . it looks like this:
Where it says --
default:\
:cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t) \r\n\r\n:sp#1200:
You want to change the part following :im= and preceeding :sp#1200:
My looks something like this --
:cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n\r\nYou are now entering fear and loathing.\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:
Don't comment out the old line and then write the new line below it though, that caused me some trouble.
