/etc/issue.logo :p
but anyways ... asking for a blank /etc/issue is wrong imo ... every distro 
has an issue, Gentoo gets one ... it's a basic file that every distro should 
have by default ...
if you dont like it, make it a 0 byte file ... next time you update baselayout 
it'll ask if you want to update /etc/issue, you just say no :p

i dont like the sleep/beeps either and there is a bug open about einfo

the portage team
