Follow that link I posted. In the ROM monitor you can tell it to boot
elsewise. Iirc, and I probably don't, it's `bsd' (`boot SCSI disk') at the
monitor. To get into the ROM monitor at boot time, hit COMMAND+<whatever
key has the tilde on it>. You have to hit those keys before it leaves ROM
and has found a kernel.
