[rescue] Rescued O2

[Robert Darlington]

All sgi's (at least after IRIX 4.0.5) are easy when it comes to
resetting the root password.  You'll have to boot with an install CD
and edit the password file.  I would forget IRIX 6.2 and go with
6.5.whatever.  Where are you located?  I'm happy to loan an IRIX CD
set.
