Ask a stupid question, get a.... quick and simple answer. Thanks to 
Sydney Weinstein for this: "Plug in a keyboard and hit the power on 
button." I'm not a complete moron, but I hadn't thought about that 
because I'm running the machine via a serial connection to my laptop, 
and I'm absolutely new to this platform, coming from a 10-year Mac 
background.

Thanks!
