I was able to get the code that the system has come to rest on. I attempted to look it up on the links provided and came up empty handed. The code is B700 5122. I also took some of your advise and proceeded to tar and feather all of those involded with my dilemma. Any help on this new error code would be appreciated. I'm going to try and restore the system from whatever backup tape I can find, if any, tonight. Thanks again!

This doesn't sound as bad as it might look.

It means that the system can't find a load source. Did you try a "D
mode" IPL, with the I_BASE_01 CD inserted? As people have f*cked with
your System, it is entirely possible that there currently isn't a load
source...

B700 5122 means:

Platform LIC detected an error

Platform Licensed Internal Code detected that an IOP request failed.

This error indicates a failure during a search for the load source.
There may be a number of these failure prior to finding a good load
source. This is normal. If a B2xx3110 error is logged, a B2xx3200 or
B7005122 may be posted to the control panel. Work the B2xx3110 error
in the Serviceable Event View. If the system IPL hangs at B2xx3200 or
B7005122 and you cannot check the SRC history, perform the actions
indicated for the B2xx3110 SRC.
