Starting the System and Observing Initial Conditions

This command boots the specified file from the Flash memory card in PCMCIA slot 1.

rommon 3> boot tftp:gsr-p-mz.112-9.GS4 <ip-address>

This command boots the specified file from the host TFTP boot server in the network.

Note If you have not changed the contents of the software configuration register, the factory default setting of 0x0102 in this register causes the system to boot Cisco IOS software from a Flash memory card inserted in PCMCIA slot 0 the next time you boot the router.

After manually booting the router using the boot command, as outlined above, continue with the following steps.

Step 9 As the system boots the Cisco IOS software image, the console displays a system banner and script similar to the following:

Observe the system startup banner. When you first start up an unconfigured system, it automatically enters the setup facility. The setup facility detects the network interfaces installed in the router and prompts you for configuration information for each one.

For example, after the system displays the system banner and hardware configuration, the following system configuration script appears:

--- System Configuration Dialog ---

At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help. Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt. Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.

Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
