    I am trying to do a cold install of 11.0 from the May 1999 (Install and Core
    OS CD). Here are the steps I am following:

    1. Put the CD in the CD drive.
    2. Reboot the server (# shutdown -r 0)
    3. Interrupt the boot sequence at the appropriate point.
    4. "Boot from Primary Path?" - answer N
    5. "Boot from Alternate Path?" - answer N
    6. "Enter Boot Path?" - answer 52.0.0 (path to CD drive)
    7. "Interact with IPL?" - answer Y
    8. At the IPL prompt, I enter "hpux install"
    9. I get the following response:
            Boot
            :disc(52.0.0;0)install
            disc(52.0.0;0)install: cannot open, or not executable
            Exec failed: No such file or directory

    Now, I realize it's been A VERY LONG time since I have tried a cold install
    but the steps above are what was taught to me and all I have to follow.

    What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

    Sincerely,
