[rescue] SS-5 Problems

[Zach Malone]

Hello,
    Yes, I reset the prom (L1-N, correct?).  I have gotten the machine
working with OpenBSD in the past, however due to a botched dd (I did sd0,
rather then sd1) the installation was trashed.  I have not tried setting it
up using a boot server.  Are there any further ways to reset the settings?
