it will be awesome if default inittab will not clear boot/tty1 by default this can be achieved by using this tty1 config, note the --noclear c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty --noclear 38400 tty1 linux that way all the boot text stays there after boot sequence is complete. the actual console clearing is handled by default .basrc/.bash_profile anyway.
openrc-init can also achieve the same result by creating /etc/conf.d/agetty.1 with > agetty_options="--noclear"
