Try holding down / pressing Stop+N when booting - IIRC this resets
OpenBoot settings to defualts in some versions. There might be a mobo
jumper to reset OpenBoot settings. If not, consult the OpenBoot manual
- there is a way of doing this IIRC. Alternatively boot Linux blind
(set up the disk on another machine so it boots and starts sshd),
connect in and change the settings from within Linux.
