As the mounting fails
it could be that your fstab is broken.
Btw. afaik there is no mountall command or alias on HP-UX.
Issue mount -a instead.
Also issue /sbin/cat /etc/fstab
and look if all the entries are valid.
Maybe a volume couldn't be activated?
Do you have an LVM layout?
Do you have your root disks mirrored?
Maybe a mirror disk is broken and the quorum for vg00 couldn't be fullfilled on activation?
You then could try to activate it by
/sbin/vgchange -q n -a y vg00
Maybe a filesystem didn't pass the fsck?
There can be all sorts of reasons,
and it's difficult to tell without further information.
You should check /etc/rc.log and /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and dmesg
for any hints what caused init to hang.
Of course that would require to get /var mounted first.
Also note that syslog.log gets moved to OLDsyslog on every reboot.
So you might wish to save the syslog.log

mounting
mounting(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual mounting(7)
NAME
mounting - event signalling that a filesystem is mounting
SYNOPSIS
mounting DEVICE=DEVICE MOUNTPOINT=MOUNTPOINT TYPE=TYPE OPTIONS=OPTIONS [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The mounting event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon when it is about to mount a filesystem. mountall(8) will wait for all services
started by this event to be running, all tasks started by this event to have finished and all jobs stopped by this event to be stopped
before proceeding with mounting the filesystem.
The DEVICE, MOUNTPOINT, TYPE and OPTIONS environment variables contain the values of the fstab(5) fields for this mountpoint.
EXAMPLE
A tool that should be run before mounting the /var filesystem might use:
start on mounting MOUNTPOINT=/var
task
