Screen contents are not cleared after syslinux loads
After selecting a kernel + options with syslinux, the screen contents are not cleared. For example, the BIOS hardware summary remains in while the services + daemons are started up, which makes the contents of the screen difficult to read. In the past this was done, and I can’t remember when this changed. Is there just a kernel option to make the screen contents disappear or is there a change needed in Alpine?
