Hello,

I have a DEC 2000, Model 300 AXP, ROM 2.2, Firmware version 370, that was
hanging on powerup. It did the device check, then printed the following

   System power up OK
INIT-S-CPU
AUDIT_BOOT_STARTS
AUDIT_CHECKSUM_GOOD
AUDIT_LOAD_BEGINS
AUDIT_LOAD_DONE

an hung there.

I unplugged the hard disk to force a failure back to the >>> prompt, but is
there a key sequence to force the machine to the >>> prompt during or after
its power up cycle?

I don't have any hardware documentation for this beast, and I didn't see
anything in the System Administrator manual that came with our AlphaServer
4000.

Thanks, -- Bennet
