Re: failed prompted when boot

it means that the boot area of your disk does not contain hpux - at least a bootable version.


Just for pleasure, what is the output of:

ISL> hpux ll

Later,
Bill
It works for me (tm)

Try doing "ls" at the ISL prompt to see what's available.

Re: failed prompted when boot

hi rambo

I think that it's better reconfigure you mirror again.

if you find the old question about it in this forum, you can know if you do all steps in right mode
