You might look into something like rEFInd which is a fork of the old rEFI project, although I'm not sure what hardware is supported on those older macs.

11/03/2023, 2:35 AMThanks for following up. These days it seems like the boot loaders are fine on that hardware - I've been able to install and run Ubuntu/ProxMox and others with no problems. The hardware on this is actually pretty standard - v2 Xeon CPU, DDR3 ECC etc.
In terms of next steps - is there a 'manual' way of installing and setting up harvester that I can try that might decouple this issue from the rest of the install process?
