Clearing RAM on a boot sequence is hardware specific. Some platforms wipe, others do not.

I have an older server that does not wipe on boot; it uses an older AMD Socket 7 motherboard. I run OpenBSD on that server, it retains any prior dmesg buffer found at boot time, just in case it may be needed.
