https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/nfs-server-not-responding/m-p/2473798#M17065 I have created a challenge for my self. I have an A class server direct connected to an NFS server via 100BT crossover cable. This worked fine until I manually forced both connections to 100BT-FD. Now when the A class boots, it can 't find the NFS server, and wont complete the boot process. The interesting thing is that I can ping the A from the NFS server. My question is, is there a way to boot in 'single user mode' or some equivalent (I'm a solaris admin by trade - new to HP-UX) I need to be able to change back the config file so that the system will boot and I can get things working again. BTW, I don't have any boot media for this system.
