[HPADM] All uppercase output on console during bootup

Hello admins,

I searched the archives but no luck on this one.

Just installed HP-UX 10.20 on a D Class (old I know but that is the
requirement).

When the system boots we get:

  Checking root file system.
  Root check done.
  Starting the STREAMS daemons:
    9245XB HP-UX blah blah blah ...

  Memory Information:
    physical pagesize ... ... ... ...
    Physical: 917504 kbyte ... ... ... ...

  /SBIN/IOINITRC:
  RM: /DEV/CRT NON-EXISTANT

  /SBIN/BCHECKRC:
  \CHECKING FOR \L\V\M VOLUME GROUPS AND \ACTIVATING (IF ANY EXIST)
  \VOLUME GROUP "/DEV/VG00" HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CHANGED

The problem is that the console switches into this all uppercase mode (stty
lcase) from the ioinitrc script all the way through the rest of the boot
process. At the end of the boot process the login prompt appears as normal
(i.e. in lower case) and we can login no problem.

I've never seen this before. There must be a subtle tweak to put things
right. Any ideas?

Regards,

Andy Cranston.
