How to go to main prompt

Hi:
I am new to HP-UX. After the system starts up, it is written in the documents that press any key within 10 sec to interrupt, and go to the main prompt, where I can select the boot device or boot from CD to recover system. However if I interrupt boot, it goes straight to HPUX> prompt. Please let me know how to go to the mail prompt from HPUX>
Thanks
In advance
Mitra

Your post is very vague?

Can I assume from "Please let me know how to go to the mail prompt" that you just want to check your mail?

Well, don't interrupt the boot, let the box boot normally. Then when you get a login prompt, login with your username and password. When the prompt appears (probably a "$" if you're not root) type "mail" and press return.

If this is incorrect, please rephrase your original question, and explain exactly what it is that you are trying to achieve.

Cheers

Its main

Sorry for the mistake. It is the main prompt, where it says

main menu enter command:


You can boot from cd by typing

main menu enter command:bo p0

Thanks
