Default putting each tty # on virtual consoles


One thing I kind of liked about slackware was that it
came setup so that if you did a Ctrl+ALT+F# ,
the particular tty # (1 through 6) was displayed on the login
prompt like:

tty3
hostname login:

or however it was formatted. How can I setup fedora to show
the tty number? I think fedora just shows the contents of the /etc/issue
file on each virtual console and then the login prompt.
