I had something of the same problem in that I never bothered to get the
crazy MJ4 (I believe) connector from somewhere so I could get a console
login at all.  Simply edit the requisite /etc files (ttys and the like)
to enable multiuser mode on your bootparam server and you should be able 
to get in remotely...

I was able to successfully run MAKEDEV from my linux box (the bootserver)
and, while it gave some errors, the ttys were built correctly.  Once
logged in, I was able to rerun MAKEDEV and all was well.  Likewise, the
creation of fstab, editing of rc.* and so on are (obviously) easy to 
modify on your bootserver.
