I have installed NetBSD 1.5 on a sparc IPC.  I am running it from a 
terminal on the serial port.

NetBSD prompts the user to login as follows:

|  NetBSD/sparc (komodo-dragon) (console)
|
|  login:


How can I change the message line?  I would like to add the VT100 
ansi control code Esc [ 2 J  ("/022[2J") to clear the screen so 
that the end of the previous user's session is not left on the 
terminal and the welcome message appears at the top of a blank 
screen.  I might also change the text of the welcome message at 
the same time.

Regards,
Will
