Putting Your System in Console Mode
Console Mode
In console mode, your system is controlled by the console
subsystem, rather than the operating system. Your system
enters console mode before the operating system has been
started, or whenever the operating system is interrupted, for
example, when the halt button is pressed.

If the status bar successfully fills, and the console prompt (>>>)
does not display on your screen, open the door on the front of the
system unit and press the halt button, as shown in Figure 2–12.
The console prompt should appear.
