Help me make my 3B2/400 run . . .

[Squish]

I recently obtained a 3B2/400 from an institution that I work at.  They hadn't
been using it in over 2 years.  I took it home, turned it on, and <BEEP> it
complained about NVRAM or something like that.  According to the manuals, it
means the battery is most likely dead.  OK, no big deal.  I've got a line on
a place to buy a battery although, I do remember someone telling me that the
Tadiran battery was rechargable - just leave your system on.  Doing this for
2 days didn't improve the battery's health.  Anyways, I'm put into FIRMWARE
mode and I continue using the MCP command.  I select unix and the hard drive
(WOW, it appears that I've got 4Megs, 2 - 72Meg hard drives, and a tape drive
unit - speaking of which, what kind of tapes can I use with this tape drive?)
and the system starts to grind away.  After a while, I get the login prompt!
Oh goody!  What a minute, I don't know any of the passwords and neither do the
people that gave me the system.  BUMMER!  Looking through the STACKS AND STACKS
of manuals I find out that I'm going to have to do a partial reload.  I've got
well over 100 discs.  I finally find some gray discs labelled UNIX System V,
Essential Utilities Disk - 1 thru 5.  I didn't find 5 discs label Core or
whatever.  Are these the right discs?  Am I missing discs?  Anyways, putting
disc #1 in the drive and rebooting the following happens:

<BAM>  Back to square one.  What's going on?  Any suggestions.  I need to
remove the password for root so that I may log onto the system.  Doing a
partial reload is the only way - right?  But, it's not letting me complete
the reload.  Am I missing some discs?  HELP!!!

ALSO, I have TWO 5620 AT&T monitors.  Anyone want them?  You pay shipping and
their yours.  I believe they work - they power up at least.  I don't have any
cables.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!
