Hung on NFS Server Line when rebooting

[Joel Tolentino]

Is there a way to skip line on bootup?

I'm stuck on line that says 'NFS Server not responding. Still trying'.

Try the key on the console keyboard. That "should" interrupt that step.

I edited my /etc/hosts file my mistake. That's why i'm getting NFS SERver not responding. Any way to edit that again when rebooting?

You can boot into single user mode by interrupting the boot process, then responding "hpux -is" at the ISL prompt. That will bring up single user mode and root will be logged in at the console. I usually do a "mount -a" to get all my logical volumes mounted (enabling access to /usr, in particular). You can then vi the hosts file and make your changes.
