archlinux behaviour

Hello.I've just installed archlinux and i saw something..when the module load is completed my screen is clearing and there is only logpromt message.. can i "skip" this screen clear ?Also i saw that archlinux try to mount all filesystems from fstab even cdrom/cdrw on every boot .. can i skip mount of cdrom/cdrw fs on boot?

Found this in the wiki:

Pausing at End of Boot Process

    * to pause at the end of the boot process before getting the login prompt (usually used for for debugging your boot messages...), add at the end of /etc/rc.local:

read KEY

or else remove the 1st charcter in /etc/issue file, which is a "clear screen" escape code.

The second problem could be that cdrom/cdrw is set to auto or defaults in fstab.
