Why does tty1 become the current VT on reboot/halt?

Hey all.  Why is it that when I reboot or halt my machine, I'm
automatically switched to the first virtual console?  I don't like this at
all, because all of the messages coming from the rc scripts get sent
whichever VC I was on when I typed the reboot/halt command.  I haven't
been able to figure out how/where the event occurs.  Is it possible to
prevent it, or to have all the rc scripts send their output to tty1?

Thanks.
Noah
