I have two related questions, one being more appropriate for current@, the other for hackers@, but they're quite the same thing, so sorry for the cross-post, I hope it's tolerable (I bet this won't solicit many replies :).
I dislike the boot menu in CURRENT, and would prefer something that
* doesn't rob me of the text output so far * displays no mascots or other visual noise
The only point for putting the mascot onto the screen was to fill unused space next to the menu. I you want to keep the menu and remove the mascot, just remove the line in beastie-menu that calls print-beastie. For astetics, you could then reformat the menu dimensions to take up the whole screen. Of course, leaving the menu on the screen at all defeats your first goal mentioned above.
so there's no way of having something output without clearing the screen? then I might just disable the menu completely, supposing there's an alternative similar to (or same as) the boot prompt in STABLE, which I have no problem with.
Remove the 'clear' word from beastie-start

Actually, this isn't quite right since the menu and mascot will just overwrite whatever is already on the screen. The better solution would be to replace the 'clear' word in /boot/screen.4th with a version that spits out 25 line feeds.
