- To boot a 700 into single-user mode...
-
- Press ESC to stop the auto-boot.
-
- When the list of boot devices is presented:
-
- b PX ISL (where X is your root disc)
-
- And at the ISL> prompt:
-
- ISL> hpux -iS disc(;0)/hp-ux
-
- The '-iS' are the flags to init which says come up single user. The rest of
- the command is what the bootprocess does automatically.
