Then you can try what I've suggested. As root, open "/etc/inittab", 
locate this line:

***
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
***

And append the "setterm" command:

***
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -I `setterm -clear all` 38400 tty1
***

Save the file and restart. 

This will clear the screen (tty1) after booting.
