[rescue] Rescued O2

[Ewen Roberts]

Once you lose it, commercial irix software can be hard & expensive to  
replace.

If you make an account on SGI's supportfolio site and add your O2, you  
should be able to download a 6.5 overlay CD set.  If you make a CD of  
the first disk you can boot from it via the prom menu.  The cd will  
install a miniboot and from the install menu you can break into a  
shell to reset the root password.
