It was also the quickest way to get root. Stop-a would drop you into the monitor, then b -s to boot into single user mode. Congratulations, you are root, now

It was also the quickest way to get root. Stop-a would drop you into the monitor, then b -s to boot into single user mode. Congratulations, you are root, now just edit /etc/passwd to put in a new user "toor" with uid 0, and reboot into multiuser mode.
