Failed boot
Hi All!
My PA-RISC with hp-ux 11.23 will not boot. I did some basic check and concluded that the primary disk has crashed and the system is not able to boot from the mirrored secondary disk.
Kindly help.

Re: Failed boot
Looks like the alt path does not exists? The alt path points to an IDE device, but not to the DVD drive ...
