Actually, for users of other operating systems, specifically certain IBM
systems, this is not a weird question, as one can use one OS as the main OS,
and "host" other operating systems.

As a matter of an answer here though - only one or the other can run on a
PA-RISC machine - MPE or HP-UX, but not both, and one cannot dual boot since
there is a hard switch (in nvram, I believe) on the CPU board which
indicates which OS is "expected".  This is what makes the difference between
a 3000 and a 9000, not just the nameplate ;)
