Try to interrupt the autoboot mode by pressing . Then you can disable autoboot. But this is not your major problem. The "ISL" prompt after booting a LIF-IMAGE was a tool inside the LIF-IMAGE. The boot load PALO works in a different way. PALO together with a recovery kernel is also in a LIF-IMAGE but there are no tools, as you know from HP-UX to boot a HP-UX kernel with the command "hpux" or "boot" and there are also not tools like "IODC" or whatever they were called (I am no HP specialist, but I want to learn more and more ...). So you need to have a LIF-IMAGE stored on a different place or loaded from net including those HP-UX basic tools. Such a LIF image canbe found on the HP-UX itself, called "uxbootlf" (AFAIK). By the way: I am also interetsed in setting my 712/60 to serial console. But I heard, it is a problem to setup wrong values here, as no device may fanctioning then. What have I to do, to restore the machine to let's say "factory setups" ? With friendly regards Christoph Björn Bylander wrote: > > Hello, > > I recently acquired a HP 712/80 system.
