ah ha! Here's the catch! and the reason for my not being able to
boot to Open Firmware on the WS II. And why Kristina can't do it

Isn't the Lombard too old a design for Open Firmware? According to
Mactracker "Hardware Test" isn't supported. The Pismo is the first

According to Apple:
"Beginning with Power Macintosh computers with PCI slots, Power
Macintosh computers rely on a firmware operating system called
"Open Firmware" for controlling hardware. Open Firmware is a cross-
platform firmware standard for controlling hardware and is used by
all PCI-based Mac OS computers."
