I pressed Stop-A to go to the OK prompt and re-boot my workstation.

After rebooting, the prompt is still there.

How do I get now out of the prompt?

Thanks.

Im not quite sure I follow you here...

You press STOP-A and you get to the ok> prompt
this is just as it should

Then you reboot and the prompt is still there?
HOW do you reboot?
Did you just switch the power off and on?
Did you type boot and hit return?

if you just flicked the power,chances are that your auto-boot? environment
variable is set to false
if it doesnt boot when you type boot and hit return, your boot-device
might be specified wrong...

if a simple boot, i.e.

ok> boot

doesnt run, then what does it return?
give us...

ok> printenv
and
ok> probe-scsi
or
ok> probe-ide
depending on system
