Upon Lou's request, I took a set of RS/6000 boot floppies over to
M3-133.  The install that Lou had done on the Athena workstation there
had set the machine up as MCCIBM1, with a non-public root password and
the incorrect network setup.

I took over the boot floppies, and after finding out when to insert
new floppies, got to the install menu.  For some reason, the "install"
menu item didn't seem to be working, so instead I accessed a root
shell and changed the root password to the Athena default.  From there
I rebooted the workstation, and fixed up the network configuration.

So it is up and running, although there are still some remnants from
the MCC installation (some local users, etc).  I set public to be
true, so most localized stuff should be cleaned up.  Someone may want
to go over there and clean up the extra users.  I logged in as myself
and didn't notice any problems, so it should be ok for this weekend...
