I’ve worked on machines with HP-UX, but never owned one. Well Qemu now has system emulation thanks to Richard Henderson! You can find information over at:
https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Qemu
Being the unfair person I am, I thought I’d try NeXTSTEP to see how far it gets.

And amazingly the bootloader works, although that is about it. Trying to boot up OpenBSD gets about this far:

I found on Windows though that the Debian 8 CD’s work the best, as the earlier ones lock up after loading a kernel, and the later one doesn’t fully initialize. I’ve been using this one: debian-8.0-hppa-NETINST-1.iso Serial console interaction is the way to go, so I ran Qemu like this:
qemu-system-hppa.exe -L . -serial telnet:127.0.0.1:4444,server,wait -boot d -cdrom debian-8.0-hppa-NETINST-1.iso -hda Deiban8HPPA.vmdk
So this way I can get get the install kicked off. Although I should probably have just downloaded debian-8.0-hppa-CD-1.iso
Linux on HPPA
Otherwise, yeah, it’s Linux, on HPPA
And for anyone who is interested, the only version of HP-UX I have hanging around, HP-UX 10.20 [HP9000 S700] gives me the following:

No luck with later HP-UX either.
Well it looks like “HARD Booted.” is from the disk? HPE-9000 boot
Hmm. Don’t recall that being what my real PA-RISC system said on hard-disk boot. Always remember it before boot attempt.
Bummer. Oh well the NeXTSTEP boot messages are legit!
yep!
So do they have plans for supporting HP-UX?
I have no idea. I’d contact them to see about their roadmap, although I think they are just getting started ..

Well it loads the secondary loader, and it looks like it’d loaded the kernel but some firmware call isn’t implemented?
It’s amazing it even makes it that far.

Are you sure you have the right ISO format? It should be an image with 2048 byte sector size (not 2352). It looks like your ISO has the wrong format. Note that HP-UX 9 are not working, and HP-UX 10.20 needs a disk image with SCSI version 2 as it cannot handle newer SCSI versions. So best to try it is HP-UX 11.00 or HP-UX 11.11. I never tested 11.23 as i don’t have that version.
Tried that iso in a real hppa machine and is working.
Can you make that ISO somehow available to me? ([email protected])
HP/UX 10.20 is on winworldpc. I haven’t had a moment to try to boot it, but it’s easy to get to.
It works 😉
https://twitter.com/astr0baby
Sweet!
I’ll have to steal that for later!
Talk about a Unix overload!
HPUX and AIX!
The 10.20 CD provided isn’t ok – it fails to boot.
HPUX 11 .iso images from here work correctly, but networking isn’t functioning due to lack of proper hpux ethernet driver for the qemu emulated network
Ok, the reason why HP-UX 11 v2 doesn’t work is simple: It’s 64 bit only, but QEMU supports only 32 bit right now (it emulates a B160L with a PA7300LC CPU)
Someone know if a kvm-hppa module exist, or is planned in the future to support accelleration (of course on a hppa native host)?
One can always hope, but unless you are commissioning someone I wouldn’t hold my breath
