That's the terminal command line...not open firmware.

Earlier you asked about a shut down command, when the system had
booted
up into open firmware. You type "shut-down" (without the quotes) and
press the return or enter key.
If you are still booting up in open firmware, you can reset things
from
there. At the prompt type "reset-nvram" and press the return
key. At
the next prompt, type "reset-all" and press the return key. This
should make the computer restart. If it does not, type "mac-
boot" (no
quotes on any of those).
Thanks again Nancy, glad someone finally answered my question about
restarting
from the command-line interface.
Now, I'm not sure that it's booting into open firmware. It's asking
me to login
and type my password, here's what it says (without the dashed lines):
---------------------------------------------------
Darwin/BSD (Eric-Wilsons-Computer.local) (console)
login:
---------------------------------------------------
Don't I have to login to this before I can execute any commands?
I have no idea how to login to this thing, It rejects everything
I've tried.
