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.
