I have never had a hand on HP-UX but when I first got my MV4000 it very
much the same thing as your UX box. The fix was the run a filesystem
fixer. While I was at disk stuff I ran the high-level formatter, scanned
for bad sectors etc. Came right up. It tortured me for like two weeks
before I figured out it needed this and how to run the checker when I
could not boot the machine. There was a mechanism to execute a single
file from the filesystem without mounting it so as not to lock the disk
against the checker.
Else you could get a maintainance build of HP-UX on floppy and check it
that way. Maybe Linux FSCK can handle your disk format?
