Hello,

Sorry, I'm a little late.=20

The status is that, as you said before, we need the MDP panel to get access
to the serial console (port 0 of the panel). I'm looking for this panel and=
 i
think i found one ;)=20

After the blind boot, we can't access to the HP-UX. No login is avaible,
because this E55 is a decommissioned one, a "gift" to the local Linux (and =
other
free software) User Group of my town (Toulouse, France).=20

So we need to make a fresh install of HP-UX. That's why we need the serial
console (cdrom boot).=20

thanks for the informations :)
