This should be in the FAQ: "Hit Tab key on power up. Keyboard and Display
must connected to respective ports. Firmware will cycle through known
display types. Hit return to select one". This is probably described
in any of the workstation ownwers guides at
	http://docs.hp.com/hpux/hw/index.html

I'm not sure where the FAQ lives these days.
Alex, can you add this?

Can't tell. Need to know what slot your interface card is installed in.
Use "in io" on newer workstations/servers or "info" (?) on older ones
to find out what's installed and the PDC understands.
How to check is worth mentioning the "How do I hook up a Display" FAQ.

No. Only full disk supported until some one writes the LVM support
and also adds it to our boot loader, palo.
