Hi,

stop the boot auto sequence (press any key within 10 seconds),
Type: boot pri
Answer Interact with ISL ? with Yes
At ISL> prompt type: hpux -is

When the system reboots you have 10 seconds to stop the sequence by typing on any key.
You will then be on manual boot =>
boot pri
It will ask : interact with IPL > yes
isl > hpux -is

Hope it helps

Another way to go to single user....and avoid boot interupting process.

Logged in as root
#shutdown 0

This will take you down to single user, without the boot.

When all done...you can either use:
shutdown -ry 0 or
reboot or
init 3 (for me all users normal is init3; your shop may be 4...)
