Go to "Boot option maintenance menu "

and select the ISO image

Hi

on the VM Console/EFI Menu, go to the Built-in EFI

Shell>map
Shell>reconnect -r
Shell>map


all the entries that you can see as fs0;fs1 etc have an Valid EFI on them

go to one of them as

Shell>fs0:
fs0:>dir
fs0:>cd efi\hpux
fs0:>dir
fs0:>hpux

you can see and try in case for all fs0 fs1 etc in case of confusuon.

regards
sujit
