You do not mention what version of HP-UX you are running or if
you have a logical volume manager. LVM will certainly complicate
things for repair when booting from the install media. Here is the
procedure to follow after you run a recovery shell off of the install
media in HP-UX 10.x running LVM to mount a volume:
cd /dev
mkdir vg00
cd vg00
mknod group c 64 0x000000
loadfile /sbin/pvcreate
loadfile /sbin/vgimport
/sbin/vgimport /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c0t?d0
loadfile /sbin/vgchange
/sbin/vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
loadfile /sbin/mount
loadfile /sbin/fs/hfs/mount
cd /
mkdir /mnt
/sbin/mount /dev/vg00/lvol3 /mnt
/sbin/mount /dev/vg00/lvol7 /mnt/usr
Which will give you the root and /usr filesystems.
Cheers,
Mario
