Booting: Router Partially Boots from Flash and Displays Boot Prompt
Possible Problem
Solution
No system image
in Flash memory
Use the
show flash
exec command to determine whether an
image exists in Flash memory.
1.
If no image exists, use the
copy tftp flash
privileged exec
command to copy the system image from your TFTP
1
server
to the router's Flash memory. The following is an example
of the use of the
copy tftp flash
command:

router#
copy flash tftp
filename
The router asks you for the IP address of the TFTP server and the
name of the image file that you are copying to the server. A
sample of the output for this command using IP address
131.108.10.6 and filename ic92130n follows:
IP address of remote host [255.255.255.255]?
131.108.10.6
Name of file to copy []?
