One other thought I just had . . .
If it doesn't have an OS on it, try unplugging your network cable. When it can't boot from it's hard drive and can't boot from the network, it should dump you at the ok> prompt.
Obviously make sure there is no bootable CD or floppy in the machine before trying that one . . . .
