Re: 3620 and boot from network.

It's been a while since I did this, but if I remember correctly you need to have a working flash image and config for this to work. The system boots into flash first, applies the config (i.e. IP address on the interface so it can connect to the TFTP server) then it loads the specified boot image.


That's what happened

If that is what you are trying to do then that's okay, however I am not sure what the last part of your BOOT= line ",12;" is for. Is this a typo?

If you have no IOS on your router and you are trying to load into flash then you could use the
"tftpdnld" command instead. 

Unfortunately I have a limited ROMmon command and tftpdnld is not available. Those are available commands:

rommon 1 > ?
alias               set and display aliases command
boot                boot up an external process
break               set/show/clear the breakpoint
confreg             configuration register utility
cont                continue executing a downloaded image
context             display the context of a loaded image
cookie              display contents of cookie PROM in hex

unalias             unset an alias
unset               unset a monitor variable
xmodem              x/ymodem image download

Perhaps I should upload to the new version of ROMmon.
I tried to use xmodem but it works very slowly even if at 115.6 kbps.
