In TTYs, the penguins you see on top of the
booting process remain.


Disable the Bootup logo option in your kernel:

Device Drivers - Graphics support - Bootup logo



Then in less, i cannot scroll
upwards, which sucks using man and like that.


That is another issue.  You need to select the pager you want with eselect:

  eselect pager list

gives you a list of possible choices.  The usual choice is using the 
less tool as pager (/usr/bin/less).  So simply set that with eselect 
pager set [number].  Refresh your environment (by sourcing /etc/profile 
or simply logging out and back in again.)

The penguin remaining on the screen seems to be some framebuffer
witchery, like decorations or some background. The framebuffer
provided penguins scrolls fast as the system boot messages flood the
screen.
