The login prompt is printed by getty(8), which is configured by
/etc/gettytab; see gettytab(5) for documentation on the "cl"
parameter.

NetBSD-current also supports the "cs" gettytab flag (which looks up
the "clear screen" sequence in termcap based on the terminal type set
in /etc/ttys); this feature is not yet in a release..
