"...if you encountered a system bomb ... and had to restart the machine
(that option wasn't available from the desktop menu at that time)..."

Duuhhh, yes it was, only it was called "Shut Down" in those days.
They changed its name to "Restart" when they introduced a true
Shut Down in System 4.something.

I remember using some of those early SCSI hard disks on Mac Pluses.
Shutting down with System 3.2 was a real challenge--you had to be
quick and reach for the off switch on the drive before the Mac
could restart its boot sequence.
