Recent Power Macs DO have a console mode environment -- OpenFirmware. I
don't recall offhand the exact keystrokes to get into it (I believe that
I found it in a TIL article), but I once booted my iMac into it. It
provides a minimalist command line environment which is very similar to
the Alpha SRM environment, but based upon Forth, a very compact,
flexible, and portable programming language.
