An update I acquired another 9000/382 with a hard drive. It booting into VUE and eventually found out it is running HP-UX 9.10, As usual no root password.
I tried the <ctrl>-\ "hack" while a fsck was taking place and on the 2nd try it dropped me into single user mode. From there the rest was easy https://goo.gl/photos/rDN8bhjVxoeSCw7k8 Looks like a clean install of 9.10 with nothing else. I'll do a dump of the drive and post the image when I get a chance, lots of other projects going on. Now to come up to speed on HP-UX and get it on the network. Thanks to Frank Slootweg via comp.sys.hp.hpux for the keyboard characters to try. -pete On Tue, Jan 26, 2016 at 2:00 AM, Christian Corti < [email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, 25 Jan 2016, Rik Bos wrote: > >> These tapes where used in a number of machine such as 9825, 9831, 9835, >>> 9845, >>> 9915, and 85A&B.
