We have a 715/50 -- how can we boot it non-graphically?
Right now it starts, shows a console and then tries to start the
graphical login -- but fails. Then the screen goes black.
How can we change back to the ITE console now?

To do so, boot the root-drive into the ISL. At the ISL> prompt, load
HP-UX to boot into the desired run-level, e.g.:
ISL> hpux -i3
Booting into single-user would be accordingly
ISL> hpux -iS

master script in /sbin/init.d/ or look in rc3.d
change the run level to 1 (single user)

I have an HP Apollo 715/50 that is still hanging on in its fight
to remain dead. I also have next to NO experience with HP-UX (9.01) or
the Apollo Workstation.
It does not want to boot, it gets through the ISL phase and is
(I suppose) trying to start hp-ux. It clears the screen on the console
and tells me things like:
---------------
Floating Point coprocessor configured
I/O sub systems configured
...
System Console is on the ITE
Networking memory for fragment reassembly is restricted to 2957312 bytes
Swap device table: (start & size in 512-byte blocks)
entry 0 - auto-configured on root device; start = 1853488; size 196590
Core image of 8192 pages will be saved at block 992271 on device 0x7201600
---------------
Then it blinks the leds on the Scroll Lock -> caps lock -> num luck
keys in back and fourth sequence, faster and faster - then they go out.
Leds 8,7,6,5 on the computer are lit
Led 4 blinks
Led 3 is off
Led 2 blinks
Led 1 off
And here the machine will sit for as long as I let it. I was able to
boot it off of the CD-ROM, fsck and mount the harddisk and nothing looked
terribly out of place.
So, it looks like something bad had happened, but it is not at
all clear to me *what* has happened, let alone how to fix it.
Any advice from those who ride HP-UX more often than I do?
Thanks,
Bob Martel
