Boot from 2nd partition on a cisco 4700?

  • From: Dan Caldwell

Hello,

Could someone please explain how to boot from the 2nd partition in flash on
a cisco 4700? Is it even possible? Do I need to specify something in
rommon, in the config, or both? I was only able to get the router to boot
(from the first partition) by typing "boot flash: 2".

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
Here is what is in flash-

un-named#sh flash

System flash directory, partition 1:
File  Length   Name/status
  1   2362132  c4500-p-mz_111-11.bin
[2362196 bytes used, 1832108 available, 4194304 total]
4096K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)


System flash directory, partition 2:
File  Length   Name/status
  1   2375940  c4500-p-mz_111-18.bin
[2376004 bytes used, 1818300 available, 4194304 total]
4096K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)

This is how the config reads-

boot system flash c4500-p-mz_111-18.bin
boot system flash c4500-p-mz_111-11.bin



Thank you,



-Dan
