WARNING Cold-installing HP-UX overwrites everything on the target disk,
including other disk partitions.
HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 does not support sharing the root disk
with any other operating system.
CAUTION If you need to re-install your system at any point, the root disk will be
overwritten and all data on it will be lost. For that reason, we
recommend that you do not put user data on the root disk.
