it actually says this
On a CPU server, init requires the machine's password to be
supplied before starting rc on the console.
it can be gotten from nvram (fake nvram on pcs) or
from the console.
i'm sure the reason you weren't asked for a password
was that you have a usable fake nvram.
this doesn't lock the console, however. it prevents
the machine from booting.
