boot problems
You should be able to type "boot -s" at the "ok" prompt. If not, answer the following questions and I will try and help you.
Is your box up at all? Do you have any kind of a prompt?
Do you have a rescue disk?
Can you turn off the box and hard boot? (switch off and on?) Then come to single user mode by typing "boot -s" then enter the root user and password.
Is this a home PC or work-related box?
Answer these and I will try to help further.
