	Tonight, I accidently clobbered my Personal IRIS kernel.
Fortunately, I had a backup of it in /unix.old.  Unfortunately, I
couldn't figure out how to tell the PROM Monitor to boot from
/unix.old instead of /unix.  Is it possible to do this?  If someone
could tell me where in TFM I could find DETAILED information on the
monitor, I'd appreciate it.

thanks!
