There has been some recent change somewhere in the startup process
that makes startup messages disappear once the process is completed

c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -i -8 38400 tty1 linux

I added the "-i" to prevent clearing the terminal, and it worked. Not
any more. Not even with  Shift+PageUp. Anyone knows what changed?

agetty(8) says:
--noclear
   Do not clear the screen before prompting for the login name
   (the screen is normally cleared).

So try that and let me know if it works (don't remove -i). I'm also interested in this but I can't reboot atm.
