	I don't know of a way to do what you want via the BOOT ROM but I 
	think this will help.

	Current versions of hp-ux are shipped with a kernel debuger. 
	To use it connect a terminal to the human interface cards' serial 
	interface (select code 9).

	Next from attended boot mode ask for SYSDEBUG (1D), this loads the 
	kernel debugger which in turn loads hp-ux.

	From the system console, usally a bit mapped device, press 
	SHIFT-CONTROL-RESET simultaneously, B*L*A*M*O, your in the debugger
	on the terminal connected to S/C 9.

	The kernel debugger provides fuctionality similar to ADB.

	For more details consult the HP-UX Driver Development Guide, 
	P/N 98577-90010.


	Hope this helps.
