I have a bunch of VBox Linux VMs (CentOS 6/7, Debian7/8/9, Ubuntu (14.0/16.04, Alpine) that get dynamic IPs. To get their respecitive IP addresses I have to login and run 'ip addr' I would like such info to be displayed on the VM console *before* the login prompt. Ideally an ASCII log + info (see below sig line). Thus, I can get the info from the VM console without having to login. I read up on /etc/issue but adding "\4{eth0}" to the existing string does not work.
