Hi,
I just picked up an i860 box, which has System V on it ... and I don't
know the root password. If I interrupt the boot cycle at the start,
I get a prompt of "?". If I say "boot", it boots System V and puts me
at a login prompt. Is there a way to get logged on as root without
knowing the root password?
thanks,
Stan Sieler

Hello, I'm not very familier with System V, but can you boot it into
single-user mode?

After sifting through the overwritten remaining blocks of Luke's
home directory, Luke and PDP-1 sped away from /u/lars, across the surface
of the Winchester riding Luke's flying read/write head. PDP-1 had Luke stop
at the edge of the cylinder overlooking /usr/spool/uucp.
"Unix-to-Unix Copy Program;" said PDP-1. "You will never find a
more wretched hive of bugs and flamers. We must be cautious."
