I misplaced a parenthesis, but as you can see, I DID mention hitting stop

I know
Do it in OpenFirmware itself. At the console, send a 'stop' key
sequence (or hook a computer up to the serial port, usually the first
one-- serial port A on a machine with both an 'A' and a 'B', for
instance) and run a terminal program. Send a 'stop' (in Minicom for
Unix/Linux, you can go ctrl-a,

I just TOLD YOU how to get into OpenFirmware. Read my instructions and
attempt them. All it takes is a serial cable and a computer running
Minicom.

See my earlier thread regarding the kernel being unable to find an MS-DOS
