is the disk mirrored? have you attempted to boot off the mirror?

otherwise you'll need a HP-UX 11.23 install disc and will need to boot to a recovery shell and attempt to fsck the filesystem

Hi,

Looks like the root FS is corrupt. Try to boot the system using alternate boot disk. If it doesn't work insert the OS CD, boot the system using OS CD, select Recovery Shell. At the prompt, use the commands loadfile -v to load all the HP UX command utilities.
If you don't have a OS CD, you can try to boot the system using ignite server.

From there start your diagnosis.

ioscan -fnC disk
diskinfo
mount the root FS and perform fsck.

Ravi.
