It's probably safe to assume that you can't boot OpenDarwin on
hardware newer than the release you're trying to use (your PB probably
comes with OS X 10.3.7 or 10.3.8 or so, OpenDarwin 7.2.1 is based on
OS X 10.3.2, and 10.3.2 predates your PB and is undoubtedly lacking
hardware support).

You're SOL at least until the next release, I think.
