5.boot change {primary secondary default}

If your configuration displays no preconfigured 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.
