"retry" is hopeful.  That means the ROM ran through the memory
diagnostics (and passed), and tried to boot from the disk drive.
There isn't an awful lot more on the ROM to begin with.  Do you get
into the monitor with Ctrl-OpenApple-Reset?

You can see the Apple /// ROM on ftp.apple.asimov.net:
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/
and look for Apple3ROM.bin.  But I'm not convinced that your machine
is misbehaving yet.  What are you trying to boot?  Are you sure that
your disk has SOS on it?  (And that the floppy itself is good?)
