Now power your Pi on. You'll be dropped to a single user shell. To enter multiuser, use `ctrl+D`. The root password is `root`.

There's no `shutdown` command in ancient UNIX, so you'll need to put the OS into a safe state before powering off. To do so, leave multiuser mode, ensure all disk buffers are flushed, then exit (the same applies to qemu):

```
124+
kill -1 1
125+
sync && sync && sync && sync && echo safe
126+
# remove power now
127+
```
