You are in the HP-UX forum - better to ask in the open VMS forum, the experts are there

Heru,

when you're in EFI, navigate to the VMS boot directory (from memory, something like

shell> fs0:
fs0:> cd efi
fs0:> cd vms

) and provide the boot flags to the call of the boot loader, i.e.

fs0:> vms_loader.efi -flags 0,1

HTH,
Martin
