Make a Flash Memory Card Image Bootable

Note In this example, the filename is new.image, and the Flash memory card is located in slot 0.

Step 1 Enter the configure terminal command at

the enable prompt, as follows:

Router# configure terminal

Step 2 Enter the no boot system command, as

follows.

Router(config)# no boot system

Step 3 Enter the boot system flash

slot0:new.image command, as follows:

Router(config)# boot system flash

slot0:new.image

Step 4 Enter the config-register 0x2102

command to enable loading an image

from Flash memory:

Router(config)# config-register 0x2102

Step 5 Press Ctrl-Zto exit configuration mode.

Step 6 Enter the copy running-config

startup-configcommand to save the configuration to NVRAM as follows:

Hostname# copy running-config startup-config

Step 7 Enter the reload command. When the system reloads, it will boot the image new.image from the Flash memory card in slot 0.

Enable Booting from Flash Memory

To enable booting from Flash memory, set configuration register bits 3, 2, 1, and 0 to a value between 2 and 15 in conjunction with the boot system flash device:filename configuration command, where device is bootflash:, slot0:, or slot1:, and filename is the name of the file from which you want to boot the system. In the following example, the Flash memory card is in slot 0.

Step 1 Enter the configure terminal command at

the enable prompt, as follows:

Router# configure terminal

Step 2 At the prompt, enter configuration

commands, one per line.

Enter configuration commands, one per line.

Step 3 Press Ctrl-Zto exit configuration.

Step 4 Enter the boot system flash bootflash:slot0: filename command, as

follows:

Router(config)# boot system flash

blootflash:slot0:filename

Step 5 Enter the config-registercommand with the value shown in the following example:

Router(config)# config-reg 0x0102

Ctrl-Z

Router#

Step 6 Press Ctrl-Zto exit enable booting mode.
