Interrupt the boot sequence to get a "ISL> " prompt, do a single-user
boot ("ISL> hpux -is"), (try to) "mount -a" and inspect /etc/rc.log.

We have this problem with 11.0 at times.
I opened a case with HP and they could not figure out why this was
happening.

You cant move the script that does this as there are some timing
issues involed. ONe thing I did do was the start removing the Ex*
files from /var/tmp. This seems to help some.

This is an issue that was introduced at some point after a patch was
bundle was introduced.

I found that the system would eventually come back but it might take
as long as 25-30 minutes. It has something to do with timing out
waiting from some type of network service.

thank you marvin,

i had to let it sit for about an hour and it finally made it through the
startup step
