[HPADM] Installing HP-UX 9.05 on disk > 2G

We have a legacy control system frozen at HP-UX 9.05. We bought some disks
to use fr`or maintiaing this system, and they turn out to be ever so
slightly larger than the 2G maximum for installing HP-UX 9. This is on
715's, if that matters.

On Sun hardware we have managed to partion lat\rger 4G drives to look like
smaller < 2G ones. Can this be done for HP-UX? If so can anyone give me a
pointer to a howto?
