Try to boot into single-user mode (press a key when the 'bootROM'
tells you can, tell it to boot to ISL/IPL, then do "ISL> hpux -is" (see
the FAQ for this group if you have problems with this)).
In single-user mode do "mount -a" to (try to) mount /usr.
Then use vi to edit /etc/inittab. Change the "respawn" in the relevant
line, i.e. the one with "uugetty", to "off".
Reboot ('reboot').
