- I'm ashamed to ask such a simple question, but can someone tell me how
- to bring an HP up to a particular init level at boot. I know how to
- take it down but I can't find any way from the initial boot loader of
- specifying which init level to run to. The reason for this is that I
- occasionally mess up the startup stuff on machines so I'd like to boot
- single use to fix the mess. On a Sun I'd just "b -s" on old roms and
- "boot -s" on new ones (assuming I havn't nobbled them). What is the
- magic on HPs?
-
- In case it matters (I bet it does), I'm talking about HP9000s700
- machines currently running HP-UX 8.07 (hmm HP promised me a copy of
- 9.0 back in November but so far nothing...)

- To be consistent with DNS domain ordering, shouldn't news groups have
- names like "admin.sun.sys.comp" not "comp.sys.sun.admin" ? EMWTK
