This will work fine if you have the > prompt. if you have the ok prompt
type boot

you might also like to try probe-scsi at the ok prompt this will give you a
good indication of your available scsi devices (useful for trouble shooting scsi
problems).
to get into the new command mode from the > prompt type n

to get to the ok or > prompt with the OS running try the stop
(L1 key on older keyboards) and the A key.
BE AWARE THIS WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS IF YOU ARE
NOT VERY CAREFUL!!!!! ONLY DO THIS IF IT IS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED
if you do this by accident type go to resume

good luck
