Run something right before login prompt with inittab. In my case it's setterm which clears the screen and changes the tty font color to «old-school» bold green as i like.
Open /etc/inittab and find this block of code:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
Add the following right after 'getty' on each line:
-I `setterm -clear all -foreground green -bold -store`
So it looks like this:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -I `setterm -clear all -foreground green -bold -store` 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -I `setterm -clear all -foreground green -bold -store` 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -I `setterm -clear all -foreground green -bold -store` 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -I `setterm -clear all -foreground green -bold -store` 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -I `setterm -clear all -foreground green -bold -store` 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -I `setterm -clear all -foreground green -bold -store` 38400 tty6
Reboot and enjoy!
