If you have a bunch of csh/compatible users, a `clear' in all their
.logout files will do that. For an unconditional clear? Maybe adding
`\f' to the `im=' entry in /etc/gettytab would do it, but I can't test
that from here.

Scrolling: press scroll lock, then try the arrow keys. Press scroll
lock again to leave scroll mode.
Clearing: type `clear'.
Color: the default (syscons) and the pcvt consoles already support it;
try installing colorls. Type
pkg_add /where/ever/packages/utilities/colorls-2.1.tgz
or install it from the ports/utils/colorls directory.
