7.11 How do I boot into single user mode?

Press ESC to stop the auto-boot.
When the list of boot devices is presented:

b PX ISL        (where X is your root disc)

And at the ISL> prompt:

ISL>  hpux -iS disc(;0)/hp-ux

The '-iS' are the flags to init which says come up single user.  The rest of
the command is what the bootprocess does automatically.
