Question old ibm Thinkpad stuck on boot up with screen showing "0 > 1 "

[coolpontiac]

im trying to breath life into a really old ibm Thinkpad pentium 2. I think it runs windows NT or Windows 98
it turns on and asks me to enter the year and date
then it gets stuck on next screen which shows a large window with an blinking image "0 > 1". but it won't respond to any keystrokes

how can I get past this?

(I tried to upload a pic of the problem from my computer but this is not allowed ?)

btw I put an image on Imgur.com and tried to link to it in this thread but Imgur has been down for over a day. I wonder if they are shutting down?
