At the 10 second prompt.

interupt

sea

See if there are any boot devices.

If so,

bo

Y(es) interact with the ipl

hpux /stand/vmunix.prev

This boots off the previous kernel, won't help if the boot disk is dead.

or

hpux -is for single user mode.

or

hpux -lm for lvm mode

Boot a recovery shell off the CORE-OS cd if none of this works.

Then you can poke around and see what went wrong.

Never hurts to stick your nose in the box and look at the cabling and such.

Re: boot on single user and mount disk

If you can't boot off either the /stand/vmunix or /stand/vmunix.prev kernels you should be able to boot a recovery shell off your CoreOS CD. Once you have done this, you can at least what is going on.
