There were two suggestions, both of which were required to make
the system boot:
o Power-cycle the system; and
o use 'b -r' at the prom prompt
The system did boot, but I'm not sure it was worth the trouble.
Even with 20MB RAM, the machine is so slow as to be virtually
unusable--especially in OpenWindows. I suspect I'll punt and go
back to 4.1.x.
