  At the ROM bootstrap prompt (>>>) you can give the boot command (b)
several flags.  Examples:

>>> b/1		prompt for root device
>>> b/2		boot into single-user mode
>>> b/3		prompt for root device AND go into single-user mode

  If you're not getting to the ">>>" prompt upon powerup, flip the
toggle switch on the back of your processor and reset.
