Are you referring to the boot manager? This is the menu driven display where you can choose your boot device.

Can you get to an EFI Shell> prompt? If so, issue a 'map -fs command'. Any fsx: entries refer to the EFI partition on the boot disk. You can also run 'bcfg boot dump' to see what the boot manager is configured as.

I guess more information is needed.

I've attached a good doc about the EFI shell that includes the command : EFI > bcfg boot dump'

If you have more than a couple of boot paths then I'd call HP for help.

Shell> bcfg boot dump

The boot option list is:
01. Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD(Part1,Sig3CD00000)/
\EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI "HP-UX Primary Boot: 0/1/1/0.0.0"
02. VenHw(D65A6B8C-71E5-4DF0-A909-F0D2992B5AA9) "EFI Shell [Built-in]"
