Hey all!
I tried both break-in procedures again and it finally gave way! I
removed the system password and reset all the sysboot variables to
original, booted it up and now it's all cool. I don't know why those
breakins failed the first time through... Maybe crust on the disk or
something. I'm pretty sure I did evertyhing the same; I was following the
directions explicitly.
Thanks for the prodding, Allison and Eric.
Thanks for the printerMMJ/console/HALT button tip, Roger.
Thanks for the hardware heads-up, Dan. (I'll be in contact soon; hope the
storm went by OK.)
mucho gratitude..

These SYSGEN parameters must be reset for DECwindows to start.
You can request that this procedure use AUTOGEN to change these
parameters and reboot your system. If you do not want to reboot
your system now, you can defer these changes. DECwindows will not,
however, start until the SYSGEN parameters are modified.
To run AUTOGEN at a later date, enter the following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN getdata reboot check_feedback
