Oh wait, I missed something.

You need a newline before your ^L (otherwise it gets eaten.)  However, 
the ^L will clear the screen.

There isn't any cursor control in the traditional SYSLINUX message 
files.  Using COM32 you can do anything you want, of course; the 
standard ANSI and VESA (in 3.30-pre) consoles use standard console 
escape codes which also work with the serial console.
