Kunjuttan,

from EFI SHELL> you can use boot vmunix -is

EFI:> boot vmunix -is

This will boot into single user mode.

- When you get at this stage , while rebooting
Interupt, and enter at HPUX> prompt, boot vmunix -is to go to single user mode.

After the selftest you will see the boot entry menu and a running timer. Press a key (arrow down) to stop the timer. Select EFI Shell now.

Shell>

change directory to EFI/HPUX and you will find the hpux.efi system loader.

You dont need to go to EFI shell,
during the boot process, you will be promted to interupt the boot sequence it waits 10 sec.

-Look for "Press Any Key to interrupt Autoboot "
and you will get HPUX> prompt.


-at HPUX prompt, use type without the quote "boot vmunix -is "



Cheers.
