I was messing around with my cube yesterday and I think I confused netinfo.
Here's the deal:
My cube died last month and had it shipped out. In the meantime, I changed
the netinfo on its clients - nextstations (from netinfo network to non-netinfo)
I get the cube back and boot it up. The previous netinfo db was restored
and all looked well. I changed the configs on the nextstations back to
netinfo and rebooted. They couldn't find their netinfo server.
I was able to connect to the station's netinfo db from the cube so I knew I
was close. However, I believe I started copying the broadcasthost entry
between domains. This caused my cube's netinfo to shut down. I am logged in
as myself but cannot su to root, run netinfo, or even an ls -l. (Plain ls
works). Nor can I do an nidump of the / domain.
What should I do? I presume I must reboot into single user mode but don't know
my way around niutil or niload. Help!!

PS. These NeXT machines sure aren't very forgiving!!
