More on Single User Mode...

[Ted McLean]

I tried following the steps for Single User mode but the problem occurs when I cancel the boot up process and type

"Boot Pri"

When I do so I don't get the command that asks me about SLI but instead the machine continues to boot up...Any ideas?

Thanks

Did you get a prompt saying "Interact with IPL Y/N/Q ?"

At the bgenning of boot process intrupt within 10 sec when prompted.
Intrect with IPl--- Y
ISL> hpux -is
you will go to single user mode.
boot pri is to boot from primary disk

No I didn't get that prompt and that is the problem...Is there some setting I have that is messed up or is there another way to get into Single User MOde?

After machine boots up do
# init s or init 1

At this point, it would really help to know what model? What firmware level? (Available from the INformation Firmware Monitor menu.)
What does SEA IPL (Search IPL) do?

Model = 9000/750/E

Hi,
perhaps a silly question, but do you work on the actual console?

Thanks for everyones help but I the problem was solved. All I did was type init 1 then rebooted the system adn it loaded into Single User Mode. That was easy enough...
