Cannot get web console to boot server into single user mode

Hi,
I have an issue on a hp-ux 11 server. One of the IT staff changed the netconf file and on reboot the server is generating a "init command respawning to rapidly" statement and will not boot up. I have been trying to get the server to boot up into single user mode from the Web Console. After interupting the boot sequence with ESC the options are shown and the "Enter Menu Command" prompt is shown. However after entering "boot pri isl" and pressing F12 for Enter the command just hangs and no further prompts are provided. Does anyone have any ideas where we might be going wrong with this? We have never used the web console on this server before so it is possible something might be set up wrong on the web console. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm only guessing but my guess work generally works for me.
 
We are also receiving the following message which may be important.

"Serial console port error has occurred. A single character may have been lost. Console port recovered"
