1. Type c to change boot parameters. You will be changing the boot device to zm. This will
tell the system to load files from a ZMODEM connection instead of flash memory.
[Boot]: c
‘.’ = clear field; ‘-’ = go to previous field; ^D = quit
Boot device : zm
2. Type zm at this prompt. You will be prompted for more parameters. Just hit <Enter> to
accept the defaults.
