Question: Emulating a STOP-A via a WinTel-based terminal...

Hey, all...

I'm trying to set up an E220 server without a vid card, via a
Windows-based terminal via null modem.

I have connectivity, and can see the POST. What I get on the screen is:

Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
Boot device: net File and args:
Network Link Setup Failed.
Please Check Cable and Try Again.
Network Link Setup Failed.
Please Check Cable and Try Again.

I know what this means - the hard disk is not formatted, and the
default boot device is set to Network.

I want to break into the OK prompt so I can boot from the OS DVD image.
Can I do this by emulating the STOP key somehow from my Windows
terminal?

Thanks!
