The little boxes are actually "pages". They mean that there is more than one message. You push the reset button (possibly on the earlier cars it's the clock or trip meter button) and it will show the other messages one at a time.
On the bulb defective display, an incorrect wattage or "cheap" bulb may throw this warning. You have to be very methodical in checking the bulbs, example the 2 inner clear oval running lights are common, the amber side ones on the front bumper, both license lights, etc. Yes the "bulb plates" for the taillights are a common failure too.
On the display defective, yeah it's usually a bad cluster, I agree there. On the 96-97, outside chance it's the ignition switch.
