    If you don't have a serial console available the best thing to do is
crack open your box, and look for a redish-brown colored four pin connector
and a two pin black jumper section. (This is on the DECstation's not
DECsystems, but it should be the same.) Grab a standard jumper and put it
over the black two pin connector, then power up your system. This should put
the console prompt back on your main graphics console. Once you see the >>
prompt or it asks you to pick your language, you can remove the jumper and
go from there.
