My original message was:

"Whenever I do a "boot -fl s" from the firmware prompt, it takes me to what

I got one response from Kevin Partin who suggested that I try the command:

>>> boot -fl ""

I tried this, but when the machine finished booting and I did a "who -r", it
still said run level 0. I can live with just typing in "init s" once I make
it up to run level one; it's just kind of a nuisance.
