Step 4. Verify the system booted from the DVD. The bootloader will display a message indicating you have 20 seconds to interrupt the boot process. The AUTO file should contain the string

boot :IINSTALL -c0

If the AUTO file string is different from the above, you may have booted from the wrong device. In that case, interrupt the boot process, enter the EFI shell. From the EFI shell, select the correct device, as explained in step 3.

Step 5. Once the kernel has booted, it will scan the system for IO devices.

Step 6. The system now displays the Ignite-UX welcome screen for the HP-UX installation process. If you have used Ignite-UX on PA systems, the remaining procedures will be familiar to you.

Step 7. Select Install HP-UXto begin interacting with the Ignite-UX (cold-install) program.

Step 8. From the User Interface and Media Options screen, choose the degree of customizing needed to configure the installation. The default setting under Source Location Options (Media only installation) is correct for installing from a DVD.
