Update on problem--
took a gamble--set AS/400 panel to 01 B M (I assume manual)and hit poweroff
key--it worked.
Did a manual IPL,--got a picture on terminal-reset password to QSECOFR etc
via DST--got login--loged in ok--IPL finished and panel shows 01 B after
many system prompts-back to 1/2
system status light--no menu nothing.
Im starting to suspect maybe some important system files were wiped
accidently
by last owner during clean up before handover ----strange but i saw this
machine working a pwrdwn sys *imed etc
before I picked up and moved.
