rp2470 boot from CD

Hi

We had a second hand rp2470 and did not know what it was used for.

I tried few times to boot form CD to install HPUX 11 but everytime I boot it from CD the server automatically start a recovery shell. I do not have any chance to install HPUX.

I pulled out all the harddrives, reset GSP to all the default settings but the problem is still there.

any ides ?

thanks
Nan

There are couple of threads on the very issue.

I think the resolution is to set the correct TERMINAL type of the console.

Edit the terminal settings of the console, change it to vt100/vt220 and give it a try again.

In this menu run

2. PAth
3. Set the BOot ALT to path that have cd-rom
