I'm installing bsd on my 8500 (without X Windows) for use as a 
server and also a firewall machine but I am getting hung up on a few 
things (probably more than I know).
   One thing is that since I had the os installed and set up the hard 
drive and it allowed me to boot onto the hard drive, I assumed I was 
good to go and stopped the computer from booting into open firmware 
every time.  This is bad because my drive actually takes too long to 
spin up from a cold boot.  So the first question is how do I get back 
into the firmware to set the waiting time for the drive to show up?
   The second question has to do with what to do once I am actually in.  
I am at the point where it says that "/etc/rc.conf is not configured.  
Multi-user boot aborted.
Enter path name of shell or RETURN for sh:"

   After hitting return here, I don't seem to be able to do anything.  
I've tried ls, changing directories date, time, , whatever other simple 
unix commands I know or have looked through lists of.  All I seem to get 
in response is, for example "LS: not found".

   Ok, did finally find that I could hit control d to get out of sh.  
But while I was in there I could do no normal commands I could find.  
Any ideas here?  What are other shells I could try and the normal path I 
would use to get into these?

Thanks in advance to anybody with ideas on this.  Ian
