The usual magic is something like
setterm -powersave off -blank 0 -store
which works when typed at a console.
To get it to persist across boots (and to not have to enter it by hand every time), you need to insert the command into the boot sequence. You can add this line to /etc/rc.local or add a script to /etc/init.d and have it run in appropriate run levels (probably all, so 12345).
