All that means is it's not the BM data that is the problem.

That gets rid of the boot lock and the boot loader.

That is expected.

Uh, where do you have System Commander installed? My understanding is
that it installed in the MBR. It's also my understanding that it does not
support LVM or booting beyond the 1K cylinder boundary.

There's something wrong with the LVM data. You can safely delete and
rewrite the LVM data for non-JFS volumes.

I recommend you use dfsee to wipe the lvm data and uninstall BM and then
go from there.

Feel free to post the requests of a dfsquery.cmd run here.
