[rescue] Booting an RS/6000 without a system key

[Chris Byrne]

Personally I think most of the blackbox RS/6000's and the Intel based towers
that copy their look are very nice looking. Actually I'd say most IBM
machines of the last few years, no matter the architecture are attractive. I
love the looks of my ThinkPad, and the F80 I had in the office for a while
was very cool looking (unfortunately it sounded like a jet engine).

Question, what is the origin of the name RS6000? I know I've heard it
somewhere but I can't remember what it was.
