How do I get inside?
You'll have to resort to trial and error. There is no way to boot the machine
into a single user shell without an external boot device (and this will be
hard to find, as detailed in earlier messages).
You can also try to get into the machine through the network. I once managed
to do this by faking a NIS server and serving a root account through NIS, but
I was lucky because NIS was enabled on the machine (a RS6k/340H running AIX
3.2.1). Connect the box to a network and use tcpdump to see whether it has
any network services running which you might exploit.
