Not able to boot in single user mode

Hi All

I am trying to boot the HP-UX server in single mode boot from boot loader prompt but its stuck after executing insf commands .

From earlier output when single user mode was working fine , I could make out that its not executing the 3 INIT commands this time due to which I am not getting the prompt . I tried maintenance mode boot as well but same results

INIT: Overriding default level with level 's'

INIT: SINGLE USER MODE

INIT: Running /sbin/sh

I don't have an ignite backup or DVD . is there any way out ??

Below is the screenshot from maintenance mode boot

/sbin/ioinitrc:
UX:vxfs fsck: ERROR: V-3-20003: /dev/vg00/lvol1:Cannot open /dev/vg00/lvol1: No such device or address
/dev/vg00/lvol1:file system check failure, aborting ...
UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-20003: Cannot open /dev/vg00/lvol1: No such device or address
UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-24996: Unable to get disk layout version
Unable to mount /stand - please check entries in /etc/fstab
Skipping KRS database initialization - /stand can't be mounted

Starting EMC PowerPath.
/dev/emcp: No such device
Starting EMC PowerPath Failed

Its stuck at this point .

It appears that your boot disk has failed.
You can try reseating the disk since it appears that it is not communicating.
