a new user of a c8000

[Andreas (Onkel-Speiche) Schilling]

As a new user of a c8000 I came across a problem spelled out in the
following.

Preluding information:
I have never dealt before with workstations but now I'd like to learn
about the administration of the device.

Starting off the system via the terminal there appears the following
message:

IPL error: bad LIF magic
....FAILED.

Furthermore, I'm unable to boot it, as there is no Bootdevice being
found.

Now the question:

Is it now unable to find the master board or is the operation system
missing?

If the operation system is missing, which one can I use? Does it have
to be a HP-UX?

Thank you very much for dealing with the matter.
