That's not true. If you gave the
volume group screwy names like /dev/vg00/lvol_this and /dev/vg00/lvol_that then you will need that map file to preserve the names. Without a map file, LVM will just use /dev/vg00/lvol0 and /dev/vg00/lvol1. Even if you used the default names, without a map file, LVM may get them mixed up and, for example, switch lvol0 and lvol1. But the mixup in
logical volume names is the only problem with importing without the map file.
But anyway, I
think that you should be able to boot straight into single user mode even with a screwed up inittab. Interrupt the boot process, boot from the primary path, choose to interact with ISL, and then type "
hpux -is".
