[SunRescue] HP-UX (I know, it's not Sun) cracking.

[Tim Harrison]

Hi folks.

Well, I finally managed to console into the damned HP box (seems it's a
720, with 32M RAM, 50Mhz processor, and 425M SCSI drive).  It boots up,
but doesn't give me a version for HP-UX.  It says, and I quote:

GenericSysName [Release ] (see /etc/issue ) 
Console Login:

I've tried all manners of root/passwd combinations.  Is there a polite
way to break into the filesystem from the PROM?  Am I only going to get
to the system with HP-UX media (which I don't have)?

Any advice would be appreciated.
