[SunRescue] Rescueing a SGI Indigo

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

That would probably wipe the entire nvram.  The crazy way to do it it boot
the system, enter the prom monitor/sash/whatever, pull the nvram when it's
about to ask for a password, put it back after allowing the blank or
nonexistant password, and wipe it from prom.  I don't have an Indigo, so I
don't know how hard it is to get to the nvram.  I suspect it's very hard.
