7.66 Misc. HP-UX10.x gotcha with root's shell

Root's shell has to be /sbin/sh as defined in /etc/passwd, like so: 
    root:r92hS4musPTNM:0:10:Superuser:/:/sbin/sh
or another shell (/bin/csh) that resides on the root partition because /usr isn't
mounted when init needs to use the root shell to run the startup scripts. 
Make sure that /etc/passwd defines the correct shell.
