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! -- Roger W. Terrell UUCP: ...cbosgd!musky2!terrell (or) terrell@musky2.UUCP CSNet: ccterrell%Muskingum.EDU@relay.cs.net
