Nevermind. I found it and since OS2008 uses the same gainroot
mechanism and the deb doesn't contain any binaries, just a simple sed
command that short circuits the /usr/bin/gainroot script to not look
for the R&D mode flag, it works like a charm.
Installing the following and typing 'sudo gainroot' in a terminal
worked for me to gain root access. Then I set a passwd for user and
ssh'ed in using that account just fine and I can escalate privilege as
needed.

It may work for you too but I make no guarantees.

Is becomeroot available somewhere for OS2008? I found that to be a
nice neat way of doing the config hackery needed to enable root
without R&D mode.

Unless you have your ssh keys set up to allow passwordless login, it seems.

I'm very surprised that this affects SSH logins.  Is that's really so,
how is it implemented?

There was a page in the old wiki, once.

"R&D Mode" is still black magic to me is the any documentation on what

It is. However if you refer to logging in over ssh, the device needs to
be in R&D mode to allow you in as root.

You're welcome.
