Hi All,

Just caught up with this problem. I have a 7507 router, 1 RSP2 and 1 VIP2-20 with PA-FE. I have a 16 MB of flash and I have an IOS verion of 12.1(14). My problem is evrytime my router boots up my prompt is always like this: router(boot)> .

What I did was I enter in rommon and change the confreg settings to 0x2142 then reset the router after the reboot I had the same prompt again. CAn anyone give an idea on what should I do to get rid of that (boot) in my prompt?

regards,

ahpama

ok...when i do a confreg 0x2142 then when i rebooted it still the same. So i changed it to 0x2102 but still no avail. Id just like to remove this (boot) prompt so that i can start configuring my interfaces.

thanks.

Hi,

I see two possibilities:

(1) You forgot to use "write mem" after changing the config-register value.

(2) Your BOOT variable points to the RxBoot image instead of an IOS image.

The "show bootvar" command will reveal all. Please post the output here.

Cheers,
Ron
