Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Shell

3. Use the map command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known and have
been mapped.
4. To select a file system to use, enter its mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example,
to operate with the boot device that is mapped as fs0, enter fs0: at the UEFI Shell prompt.
5. Enter HPUX at the UEFI Shell command prompt to launch the HPUX.EFI loader from the
currently selected boot device.
If needed, specify the full path of loader by entering \EFI\HPUX\HPUX at the UEFI Shell
command prompt.
6. Allow the HPUX.EFI loader to proceed with the boot command specified in the AUTO file,or
manually specify the boot command.
By default, the HPUX.EFI loader boots using the loader commands found in the
\EFI\HPUX\AUTO file on the UEFI System Partition of the selected boot device. The AUTO
file typically contains the boot vmunix command.
To interact with the HPUX.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, type a space)
within the time-out period provided by the loader. To exit the loader, use the exit command,
which returns you to UEFI.
Booting HP-UX in single-user mode

the HPUX.EFI loader.
2. Access the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt (HPUX>) by pressing any key within the 10 seconds
given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. Use the HPUX.EFI loader to boot HP-UX
in single-user mode in step 3
After you press a key, the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>)
launches. For help using the HPUX.EFI loader, enter the help command. To return to the
UEFI Shell, enter exit.
3. At the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot loader prompt, HPUX>) enter the boot -is
