The ls command can be used when booting from flash card to see the

The secondary boot loader will be loaded. Let the boot process continue
without interruption until you see the ISL prompt.
7. When the installation process prompts you, remove the Stratus Fault-Tolerant

progress automatically into recovery mode. No configuration information is
needed. Any warnings about non-interactive installation, existing
system+boot areas, and existing file systems can be ignored.
9. Remove the recovery flash card and replace it with the boot flash card while
the recovery is taking place.
Shutting Down the System
You must be root or a designated user with super-user capabilities to shut down
the system. Typically, you shut down the system before:
■ putting it in single-user state so you can update the system, reconfigure the
kernel, check the file systems, or back up the system
■ activating a new kernel
NOTE
You do not need to shut down a Continuum system to add or replace
most hardware components. See the HP-UX Operating System:
Peripherals Configuration (R1001H) and the HP-UX Operating System:
Continuum Series 400 and 400-CO Operation and Maintenance Guide
(R025H) for more information.
