Thanks for the reply, Gabriel.
I have to use a serial console because the built-in video is not 
supported.
So I commented out that line in /etc/ttys

Now I still get stuck:
Starting inetd.
Starting cron.
Tue Jul 10 07:17:48 PDT 2001

And it just freezes there.  it's not really frozen:  I can type 'Return' 
and it does.
But nothing further happens.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff

Either start using the console by changing to kbd and screen (or

/chaos/control, or whatever) for input and output in OF or comment

the ttyE0 line in /etc/ttys.

<excerpt>I imagine that the fix will involve booting into single user
mode.  But 

how does

one accomplish that from the OF prompt?

</excerpt>

boot -s


(Any arguments given to OF's boot command are passed to the next

stage bootloader and so forth.)
