Once again, apologies if this is common knowledge:

When the AT&T 3B2/300 (UNIX System V, version 2.0) gives the 

SYSTEM FAILURE: CONSULT YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE

error (May it never happen to you!), don't bother.  It is really a prompt
to enter firmware mode.  Enter your firmware mode password here, and it
will let you in... If you want to try it, just hit your reset button while
the system is up and running.  I *am not* recommending that you do that!
