My js2x is running some firmware with the screen like:

IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM
IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM
IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM IBM

           1 = SMS Menu                          5 = Default Boot List
           8 = Open Firmware Prompt              6 = Stored Boot List


      Memory      Keyboard     Network     SCSI     Speaker  ok


which is not SLOF and takeover does not seem working there :-/
