Yes you can. Press the space bar during the memory test or while it's looking for and testing the I/O cards and it will display a list of operating Systems on the right hand side of the screen and will halt awaiting operator input. Each OS will have a one or two character code immediately to the left of the OS name. You press the two character code to boot that OS. if you go to the URL that Rumi showed, there is a picture there that shows a screen just prior to it listing the OSs. The HP-UX systems usually show 1H and 1D (and often other choices as well). The 1D seems to be a Debugging mode.
