with just a hard drive. Both power on fine, do their system test and then
say loading from network. The picture looks like a coaxial "T" connector
with a cable that has "data" rolling through it.
First, put a 50-ohm terminator on that connector, so the NeXT thinks it is
connected to a live (but very small!) network.
Then read the NeXT FAQ:

They will not do anything else. I've been going crazy looking on the
internet for days, but have not found a way to bypass this. I know you can
"boot" into single user mode and then reset passwords, but how?
The FAQ describes how to do it. I recently acquired a slab, and had to do
that.
