I'm assuming you're referring to http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#ConsoleClear i.e., To do this you must add a line in /etc/gettytab(5). Change the current section: P|Pc|Pc console:\ :np:sp#9600: adding the line ":cl=\E[H\E[2J:" at the end, so that it ends up looking like this: P|Pc|Pc console:\ :np:sp#9600:\ :cl=\E[H\E[2J: Now try changing default:\ :np:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200: to default:\ :np:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:cl=\E[H\E[2J: Denny White -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / Respect for low technology.
