Step 3. From the ISL prompt, issue the appropriate Secondary System Loader
(hpux) command to boot the HP-UX kernel in the desired mode.
Use the hpux loader to specify the boot mode options and to specify which
kernel (such as: /stand/vmunix) to boot on the nPartition.
• To boot HP-UX in single-user mode:
ISL> hpux -is boot /stand/vmunix
• To boot HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode:
ISL> hpux -lm boot /stand/vmunix
• To boot HP-UX at the default run level:
ISL> hpux boot /stand/vmunix
To exit the ISL prompt and return to the BCH interface, issue the EXIT
command instead of specifying one of the above hpux loader commands.
