Procedure 4-5 Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting (BCH Menu)
From the BCH Menu, you can boot HP-UX in single-user mode by issuing the BOOT command,
stopping at the ISL interface, and issuing hpux loader options. The BCH Menu is available only
on HP 9000 servers.
1. Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX in
single-user mode.
Log in to the management processor, and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the
nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main Menu
(the Main Menu: Enter command or menu> prompt). If you are at a BCH menu other
than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the BCH Main Menu.
2. Boot the desired device by using the BOOT command at the BCH interface, and specify that
the nPartition stop at the ISL prompt prior to booting (reply y to the "stop at the ISL prompt"
question).
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > BOOT 0/0/2/0/0.13

Use the hpux loader to specify the boot mode options and to specify which kernel to boot
on the nPartition (for example, /stand/vmunix).
