E250 poweron with no keyswitch

Hi all,

I recently was given a Sun E250. In the process of installing Aurora
Linux (that's a story for another day), I unfortunately issued the
power-off command at the OBP prompt. This is unfortunate because on the
machine, there isn't much left of the front panel remaining. I found
the documentation on Sun's site which says "Turn the front panel
keyswitch to the Power-on... position," but there's no keyswitch. I
have that section (the upper) of the front panel, and coming from the
machine is the part that the keyswitch would go into. Bug again, I
don't have a keyswitch.
Is there anything I can do to get this machine to turn on again?

Thanks in advance, and I will summarize.
