No - that is just for the login prompt after the OS has been booted into
multiuser mode.
Unfortunately I have no idea where the loader on an RPi gets that
information from, since so far I've always used serial consoles.
The kernel itself can do double output, but the rc-scripts, including
the single user mode prompt, are limited to one.
It would be easiest if you have the option to wire up the serial console.
