Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting
This section describes how to boot HP-UX in single-user mode on cell-based HP 9000 servers
and cell-based HP Integrity servers.
• On HP 9000 servers, to boot HP-UX in single-user mode refer to “Single-User Mode HP-UX
Booting (BCH Menu)” (page 114).
• On HP Integrity servers, to boot HP-UX in single-user mode refer to “Single-User Mode

Procedure 5-10 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 (MP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Choose
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 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
BCH Directed Boot Path: 0/0/2/0/0.13
