Possible reasons for "stop boot flag"-
do not have minimum amount of good memory,
access port/Serial interface is present but has failed selftest default stable storage failed & cannot init eeprom, EISA subsystem failed - (EISA Controller) failed or is not detected, PDT is disabled and has entries. Given this, there is deallocated(BAD)
memory which could get used.

When replacing CPU card and translating memory SIMMS from the old to the new one, they placed them IN SAME LOCATION...and SIMMs location is different from one processor card(D370) to the new(D390)...
so for this reason systems aborts HP-UX boot process, a simple configuration
mismatch.
