Hi!
Check this doc:
http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/5965-4406/5965-4406_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/5965-4406/00/00/56-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/5965-4406/00/00/56-toc.html&searchterms=JFS%7cstand%7cHFS&queryid=20010414-081843

I am 99% sure that /stand is still required to reside on an HFS file system:
"hpux is responsible for loading the kernel from the boot file system and
transferring control to it. In order for hpux to load the kernel, it
must have knowledge of the disk layout from the file system from which
hpux is booting. Currently, hpux only has knowledge of the HFS disk
layout, not JFS."

good luck.

If /stand is NOT a separate filesystem from / then your / filesystem(LV) can NOT be JFS. The LV that /stand is in (whether alone or a part of another LV) MUST be HFS.

No /stand must be HFS; this is required by the boot firmware. The boot code does not understand vxfs filesystems.
