Loading the Catalyst OS Image
The first step is to load the Cat OS image and then switch consoles from the RP to the SP. The new
console will be the MSFC's ROMMON prompt.
Note: Loading this image will not take you directly to the MSFC's ROMMON prompt.
Load Cat OS by typing the following command:
boot <location>:<Cat OS image>
In this command,
<location>
is either slot 0 or bootflash.
