"Console is on a serial Device

This should be clear enough.

If you want to use your VGA, configure the console from EFI:

Shell> conconfig

[MALIK ADEEL IMTIAZ]

Thank you so much for your reply now after typing on SHELL> conconfig error is
'conconfig' not found Exit status code : Invalid Parameter

Thanks

Dear Torsten,
i have select only one option in
"Select Active Console Input Devices."
"Select Active Standard Error Device."
"Select Active Console Output Devices."

Option which i selected
"Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(2|0)"
and delected all other options and make cold reset.

after restarting it does some thing now it is stuck in this postion.
Booting kernel...
HP_UX will call firmware in physical-addressing mode
