Hi, you are using HDD volumes or MD (Raid array)?

 

If you are getting at least CLI prompt use switchboot -b command to boot with different volume.

 

For example: switchboot -b HD1.2 or switchboot -b MD1.2

 

If you are not reaching CLI itself and failing at boot level only suggest you to contact F5 vendor, it may be a hadware issue.
