Quoting [1]: — All PowerPC Macs from the iMac, the iBook, the Blue and White Power Mac G3 and the Bronze Keyboard (Lombard) PowerBook G3forward are New World ROM machines, while all previous models (including the Beige Power Mac G3 and all other beige and platinum Macs) are Old World ROM machines. Intel based Macs are incapable of running Mac OS 9, and on these machines EFI is used instead of Open Firmware, which both New World and Old World machines are based on. — So, not all Lombards have OpenFirmware, just starting from the Bronze Keyboard model. And if the machine has OpenFirmware, GRUB should work. > [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_ROM
