try "boot scsi.1.0 ipl" [NB, may be "isl" instead of "ipl", I forget
for this box]. Then interact with palo to add new commands.

That is an old one ... I think you're the only person I know of still
using a 705/710/720/730/750 machine. Some changes have been made
that should result in those machines running better (improved spinlock
code, for example), but they certainly don't get much testing. You
may have more luck on a 712 if you have one ...

himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
