I've a virtual instance and I need to know its IP address after it has finished booting up, to know where to ssh into it. I've tried adding "ip -4 addr > /dev/tty0" to rc.local, but that obviously doesn't work, because the login prompt overwrites everything I do.

The easy answer would be: don't fight the login prompt. "agetty" writes the contents of /etc/issue to the console before the login prompt. If /etc/issue contains "\4" then agetty will print the IPv4 address to the console.

See the man page for agetty, and update /etc/issue.
