Description
I've encountered many instances where screen (or even putty) will output boot information on a single line that's difficult to decipher. I've attached an example screenshot of this. I'm not sure if this is a client console issue or something with FreeBSD/pfSense.
Since boot info is already logged and available through dmesg and system.log, it'd be nice to run 'clear' when /etc/rc.initial is ran on boot or when it's run while a console connection is active.
When I run into this issue (at least 10 times in the past two days), I enter '8' to drop to shell, run clear, then exit to refresh the shell menu. The only other way around it is restarting the console session (screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 - Linux Mint).
