Our campus bookstore has a NeXT machine that was inadvertently (or
purposely?) set to boot off of a network.  Now, this is a demo model so
it's quite standalone.

I recall that the NeXT has some sort of monitor mode that you can enter
before you allow the machine to boot (I messed one up while playing with
it, too), so I was wondering how I could go in and set the thing to boot
off its own internal hard drive again.

Please email response, as I no longer keep up with this newsgroup.
(Sorry...even still, NeXT _is_ my favorite machine out there)

Conversation between me and Dad a few years back: Dad: "This is a RISC
machine, son."  Me: "Why's it a risk, Dad?"  "That's the design, son.
It's designed as a RISC machine."  "What, a R-I-S-K?"  "No, it's R-I-S-C."
"Oh, what's that?"  "It stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer."  "Oh."
