Basically these modes allow you to troubleshoot problems bringing up the system.

Hi,

Single user mode, used for maintenance, without all file systems mounted, console access only. Useful for retrieving lost root password, or extending vg00 lvol's etc.

Quoram Mode - I assume you mean hpux -lq?
This is used when using mirrordisk. It tells the box to boot even if a mirror is missing. (Ignore Quorum requirements)

Maintance mode - used to do offline maintenance of disks.
