4 show bootvar This command displays the current operating system boot configuration parameters.

5 boot change {primary |

secondary | default}

If your configuration displays no pre-configured operating system boot parameters,

use the boot change command to edit appropriate fields.

• The primary operating system boot parameters are used in the first attempt to boot

the system.

• The secondary operating system boot parameters are used if the primary

operating system boot selection is not available.

• The default operating system boot parameters are used if the secondary operating

system boot parameter selection is not available. The default parameters always

reside on the internal flash device (flash:).

NOTE: These parameters, as well as other boot parameters, can be modified

in the CLI mode.

When you enter the boot change command, you are prompted for a response.

• Enter a new parameter or press the ENTER key (carriage return) to accept the

default parameter.

• Enter . (period) to clear a field.

• Enter - (dash) to edit a field above the current cursor position.

NOTE: When you enter a new parameter that extends beyond 80 characters,

you cannot use the BACKSPACE key to correct any mistakes. If you make a mistake,

you must re-enter the parameter.
