Set the machine into service-mode by hitting one of the buttons on
the front.. not sure which one.  One of them is 'reset' and the other
is 'normal/service'. Once it's in service mode, press CTRL-ENTER while
Domain/OS is running or if it's in service mode when you hit reset then
it will stop in the PROM and not auto-boot.  The PROM mode will look
something like this:

(note, the commands will be different because that's the output from
one of my Apollo 3500's).

You should be able to type "CF" I believe to configure either DOMAIN
or HPUX mode. Once in HPUX mode, it will be able to boot NetBSD though
the Domain keyboard should still work in both modes from the PROM. But
no further.

Alternatively, there are ways to break into Domain/OS if you felt that
was necessary. shouldn't be though.

Not that I'm aware of though it shouldn't be too difficult.  The 
keyboards are 1200,e,7,1 and are probably on one of the serial
ports...
