I have two pa-risc computers at home, with very similar architectures (hpux 10.20). One of these accidently (call it No.1) deleted its root directory (rm -rf /*), so I copied recursively from my hard drive on the other one (No.2; as root) to an external hard drive, hoping a could boot from it (on No.1).

This failed, of course, but when I tried to boot No.2 again, I found that I couldn't login, I just got a "login is incorrect; please try again" message.
However, I can still login in a command-line way, and run /usr/dt/bin/Xsession, but it's still very messy.

Anybody know what on earth could have caused this?

 
Also, anybody know why on my hpux 11.00 "Install & CoreOS" CD I only have a bunch of directories?

Cheers :)
