The internal DVD Rom is only accessible from Cell 1. If you have two npars then you have to install an external CDROM. Another workaround might be to temporary create a two cell npar, install HPUX on the disk in slot 0A or 0B and recreate the two single cell npars after that.
Or you create the system disks on the partition with cell 1, then move the internal disks from the cell 1 slots (1A, 1B) to the cell 0 slots (0A, 0B), boot via cell 0 in maintenance mode (hpux -lm), do a vgexport /dev/vg00, finally vgimport the vg00 again, but this is more complicated and LVM knowledge is needed.
