These things are basically completely unrelated- the interpreter
included in loader(8) doesn't have to know anything about graphics and
this stuff is handled before and after the interpreter is invoked.

However, because loader-land is funny in a not-ha-ha kind of way, can
you try replacing loader.efi on your guest VM with the Forth-flavored
version to rule that out or narrow it down, please?

Thanks,
