If you get "R>", you need the password, so that you can type (I
think):

R> passwd
PWD: [type password here]

The machine will always go to the prom on power up -- it is on resets
and reboots that the "boot" command is executed automatically.

When you're at the ">>" prompt, you can type something like:

>> setenv boot "3/rz0/netbsd -a"

or whatever your boot command line is.  The -a flag tells netbsd to
start in multiuser mode.

Sorry I can't reboot to verify this... all our 5000/200's are in use.

MB> I' m using a -current kernel with 1.1 boot blocks.  Thanks.
