Okay, you're trying to create a mag tape that you can boot from? Yes?
One point is that most such scripts (creating bootable media of any type) stage themselves off working disk space so you'll need to ensure that the filesystem that the script wants to use as working space is not nearly full.
Come on guys! Where are the HP-UX experts who really know how this works?
