As the system is powering up, press the "halt" button (on the back of the
case) before it gets fully booted. This will give you the ">>>" prompt
without having to fully load the OS and then issue a "halt" or "shutdown -h"
from the root account.
If you want the default action on power up to be to halt in the console,
issue the SET AUTO_ACTION HALT command. Use the SHOW command first to see
how it's currently set.

At the ">>>" prompt, issue the "boot -fl s" command. Flag "s" (or "S")
means come up to single-user mode.
