Quite a while ago, indeed! I've forgotten what I did, and I haven't had to
reboot a 5000/120 since. I'm pretty sure the little square button is the key,
and then I think I figured out what to type from the screen. I'd suggest you
send someone to find one of these beasts and experiment, since there are a few
left (and the older they get, the more likely it is that they'll hang/crash.)

Hi,
You sent this into olc quite a while ago, unfortunately our answers were not
being regularly maintained at that time and I am just now catching up on the
backlog.
I would be happy to add information about the DEC 5000/120 unfortunately we do
not have any with which to experiment. Do you have complete information about
how to reboot this machine now?
thanks,
alicia allen

There's a little square button on the back, combined with some
keystrokes -- I'm not sure what, I hit a few, but I think the letter
'b' and the 'Do' key were the last things I hit before I saw the
"Ultrix boot" message.
