Start the boot process, interrupt it at the "10 second" prompt, answer yes to interact with IPL, enter "hpux -is" at ISL prompt.

you do the following:

watch the console during boot.

there will be a massges to press the spacebar (or some other key if it's a workstation)

this will bring you to a prompt :

type in

bo pri

the make the OS boot from the primary disk

when asked if you would like to interact with IPL say "y" for yes.

you will get to an IPL prompt where you should type in

hpux -is

that's it, you'll be in single user mode.

"shutdown" will put yoou in single user mode (see man 1m shutdown). "init 0" or "init s" will also do it.

If you are already shutdown, interrupt the boot and type "hpux -is"
