Dual Boot on HP-UX

Only cell based systems support partitioning, but it is diff that dual booting a PC
To my knowledge, this can only be done if you have one of the new boxes, either the Superdome SD26000, Matterhorn RP7410, Keystone RP8400 servers which have the ability to have multiple partitions each with an instance of the Same or Different OSs on them. It is called "cell-based" technology and is new architecture to these 3 systems. You can learn more about it by going to http://docs.hp.com website and search for "Cell" or "superdome" to see the docs that are there. HP posts virtually all of its documentation on this site for public consumption.
None of the previous versions of Hardware before support this partitioning.
However, These versions mentioned above of HP Systems only support 11.0 or 11.i, 11.20 versions of the HPUX operating system.
So with that in mind, the answer to your question is "no".
You could have 2 different disks on the same box that you could boot from one or the other but you would have to specify the hardware path each time you would manually boot up. I don't think you can create an autoboot function to have a window to select one or the other. You would have to boot and manually change the path each time.

bootp
BOOTP(8) System Manager's Manual BOOTP(8) NAME
bootp, rarpd, tftpd - Internet booting SYNOPSIS
ip/bootp [-d] ip/rarpd [-d] [-e etherdev] ip/tftpd [-dr] [-h homedir] DESCRIPTION
These programs support booting over the Internet. They should all be run on the same server to allow other systems to be booted. Bootp and tftpd are used to boot everything; rarpd is an extra piece just for Suns. Bootp passes to Plan 9 systems their IP address, IP mask, default boot file, default file server, default authentication server, and default gateway. These come from the network database file attributes ip, ipmask, bootf, fs, auth, and ipgw attributes respectively (see ndb(6) and ndb(8)). The attributes come from the entry for the system, its subnet, and its network with the system entry having prece- dence, subnet next, and network last. Bootp will answer requests only if it has been specifically targeted or if it has read access to the boot file for the requester. The -d option causes debugging to be printed to standard output. Rarpd performs the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol, translating Ethernet addresses into IP addresses. The options are: d print debugging to standard output e use the Ethernet mounted at /net/etherdev Tftpd transfers files to systems that are booting. It runs as user none and can only access files with global read permission. The options are: d print debugging to standard output h change directory to homedir. The default is /lib/tftpd. All requests for files with non-rooted file names are served starting at this directory with the exception of files of the form xxxxxxxx.SUNyy. These are Sparc kernel boot files where xxxxxxxx is the hex IP address of the machine requesting the kernel and yy is an architecture identifier. Tftpd looks up the file in the network data- base using ipinfo (see ndb(2)) and responds with the boot file specified for that particular machine. If no boot file is specified, the transfer fails. Tftpd supports only octet mode. r restricts access to only files rooted in the homedir. SOURCE
