It sounds like your display driver didn't initialize them.
Just to verify, your == OpenBIOS' display driver? Or should the OS do something?
Correct. Either FCode from a card or some kind of builtin driver that Openbios knows to attach to a PCI node.
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.
