To me, the "draw-rectangle" message suggests that Open Firmware on the
Lombard is too old for whatever Forth commands GRUB is trying to use.
I haven't used GRUB in quite a while except on PCs. Doesn't GRUB draw a
nice rectangle around the edge of the screen as part of its process to
present the boot menu? If yes, then this could be the cause of the OF
problem on the Lombard, if Lombard OF doesn't have a "draw-rectangle"
command.
Is there a way to run GRUB in "text-only" mode, or equivalent?
