Jimmy,

you can see the contents of the AUTO file using:
#lifcp /dev/dsk/cxtydz:AUTO -

where /dev/dsk/cxtydz is the device file for the bootable disk.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jimmy,

You have to use the raw disk in the lifcp & mkboot commands:

lifcp /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ:AUTO -

and your mkboot command would be like

mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ

the /stand/vmunix is implicit & not required.

HTH,
Jeff
