Clean Install of HP-UX 11.0

I am trying to install HP-UX 11.0 on a K360 class server. I can get to the set-up menu, search for available drives, it sees both hard drives. I issue the command to boot from the CD and it starts. It gets to the "Scanning system for IO devices" and just stays there. I let it run for 12 hours today, with no movement. Any suggestions as to what I should try?

When I do a search it return both hard drives, the CD, and the LAN. After you said that, I realized that the tape drive is not on the list. I will disconnect it as it appears that there is problem with the tape drive.

It never gets to the Querying Device. The last message on the screen is the "Scanning system for IO devices."

I had this before and as tfewster pointed out it turned out to be a termination problem, just changing the terminator or cable fixed the problem.

After disconnecting the drives one at a time, I found that one of the hard drives was causing the issue.
