1.Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX in single-user mode.

Log in to the management processor, and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main Menu (the Main Menu: Enter command or menu> prompt). If you are at a BCH menu other than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the BCH Main Menu.

2.Boot the desired device by using the BOOT command at the BCH interface, and specify that the nPartition stop at the ISL prompt prior to booting (reply y to the “stop at the ISL prompt” question).

Main Menu: Enter command or menu > BOOT 0/0/2/0/0.13

BCH Directed Boot Path: 0/0/2/0/0.13

3.From the ISL prompt, issue the appropriate Secondary System Loader (hpux) command to boot the HP-UX kernel in the desired mode.

Use the hpux loader to specify the boot mode options and to specify which kernel to boot on the nPartition (for example, /stand/vmunix).

•To boot HP-UX in single-user mode:

ISL> hpux -is boot /stand/vmunix

Example 4-1 (page 124) shows output from this command.

•To boot HP-UX at the default run level:

ISL> hpux boot /stand/vmunix

To exit the ISL prompt and return to the BCH interface, issue the EXIT command instead of specifying one of the hpux loader commands.

Refer to the hpux(1M) manpage for a detailed list of hpux loader options.
