This looks good.

Now do

EFI> fs0:

EFI> cd EFI

...

and run the hpux boot loader.

[RajeshVarier]

Let us see if you are able to boot in any mode using fs0:  like boot -lm etc

If not, suspect a disk issue and do not see any other boot disk.

fs0:\> cd EFI

That looks like a disk issue. Could confirm by booting from a OS DVD or ignite  and check from recovery shell.
