3.
Use the
map
command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known and have

5.
To launch the
HPUX.EFI
loader from the currently selected boot device, at the UEFI Shell
command prompt, enter
HPUX
.
If needed, specify the full path of loader by entering
\EFI\HPUX\HPUX
at the UEFI Shell
command prompt.
6.
Allow the
HPUX.EFI
loader to proceed with the
boot
command specified in the
AUTO
file,
or manually specify the
boot
command.
By default, the
HPUX.EFI
loader boots using the loader commands found in the
\EFI\HPUX\
AUTO
file on the UEFI System Partition of the selected boot device. The
AUTO
file typically
contains the
boot vmunix
command.
To interact with the
HPUX.EFI
loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a
space
)
within the time-out period provided by the loader. To exit the loader, use the
exit
command,
which returns you to UEFI.
Booting HP-UX in single-user mode

HPUX>
) by pressing any key within the 10 seconds
given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. Use the
HPUX.EFI
loader to boot HP-UX in
single-user mode in step 3.
After you press a key, the
HPUX.EFI
interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt,
HPUX>
)
launches. For help using the
HPUX.EFI
loader, enter the
help
command. To return to the
UEFI Shell, enter
exit
.

At the
HPUX.EFI
interface (the HP-UX Boot loader prompt,
HPUX>

boot -is
vmunix
command to boot HP-UX (the
/stand/vmunix
kernel) in single-user (
-is
) mode.
