Hello,

I am having a lot or problems trying to get a machine to boot. The first
time I turned it on with console access, it booted to some menus asking me
about the network. The next time I booted the box I chose boot vmunix
(autoboot) and it displayed the following information...

Press Any Key to interrupt Autoboot
\EFI\HPUX\AUTO ==> boot vmunix
Seconds left till autoboot - 0
AUTOBOOTING...
AUTO BOOT> boot vmunix
> System Memory = 2040 MB
loading section 0
................................................ (complete)
loading section 1
............ (complete)
loading symbol table
loading System Directory (boot.sys) to MFS
....
loading MFSFILES directory (bootfs) to MFS
...........
Launching /stand/vmunix
SIZE: Text:24254K + Data:5873K + BSS:5200K = Total:35328K

Console is on a Serial Device
Booting kernel...

HP-UX will call firmware in physical-addressing mode

Memory Class Setup
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class Physmem Lockmem Swapmem

System : 2040 MB 2040 MB 2040 MB
Kernel : 2040 MB 2040 MB 2040 MB
User : 1694 MB 1474 MB 1480 MB
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone got any ideas as it just seems to hang from here!!!

Cheers,
Matt
