I recently purchased an 030 cube and update parts. The update parts
haven't arrived yet, and the cube (which used to be on a network) 
will be used stand-alone for now. The rc.local starts network services
such as YP. When powered up it hangs "Checking for network".

I can get to the monitor with Command `, and I can continue the boot to 
see the rc.local being executed.

What I need to be able to do is to interrupt the rc.local so I can 
comment out the lines that start network daemons. 

I am experienced with UNIX, but not with NeXT. I tried Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z,
Ctrl-D, but I haven't been able to get to a shell prompt yet.

Could someone tell me how to interrupt rc.local?

Thanks,
