This doesn't seem right, these commands work on OpenFirmware as-is.
Their goal is to clear the text OpenBIOS console and toggle the cursor.
Example:
Type: toggle-cursor at the OpenFirmware prompt on any mac and the
cursor will disappear / reappear.
erase-screen and the OpenFirmware screen will erase.
Thanks!
