Though there may be other ways to break in and stop the boot and an
Alphastation 500 I guess you could unplug the SCSI cable connecting the
disk and go from there. The boot process should fail when the disk isn't
found. Then set auto_action to HALT instead.
Anyone with any other ideas???
Cheers,
Anders

There's nothing disgusting about it [the Companion]. It's just another
life form, that's all. You get used to those things.
