This change is unrelated to the change. It indicates a broken GRUB installation.
No surprise at all.
Then, of course, the fans being their full speed noises.
So, any ideas on what to type at that prompt?
Try invoking the boot menu by holding down <Alt> and see if you can find an
alternative working boot loader.
If that doesn’t work, then my suspicion is that your installation is rather old
and GRUB on this system was installed using the old hacky scripts.
I don’t think the G5 behaves differently here than my G4.
I just fetched the most recent netinst image ( 2022-03-24 ) where I am
guessing a full reinstall will be perfectly possible. I would rather
find a way to repair the old hacky GRUB but sometimes a full reinstall
is a "good thing"(tm).
