Edit text right at the start of booting

Hey, I was just wondering if there was anyway to change the text that displays right at the start of the boot process.

The text I am reffering to is...

"> Arch Linux

> www.archlinux.org".

Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed." - Unix for Dummies, 2nd Edition

Re: Edit text right at the start of booting

It's in /etc/rc.sysinit.

This is a core system file, and is not meant to be edited, so if you change it, your changes will be reverted every time the initscripts package is updated. Easy enough for you to reinstate them though, if that's what you want.
