config file problem "router(boot"

[carbonscoring]

Hi all first off I'm new to routing and only know how to do a handful things. Heres my problem I have a 7200 series router that we had tried to load the bootstrap and IOS from another 7200 series router. our plan is to use both together for redundancy. Anyway once we loaded the IOS and thought we were making head way we noticed that it continually boots to "router(boot)".

here is the show version command

How did you try and load the file (IOS and/or config)???

Hi Burt, we were using a PCMCIA flash card when we copied the IOS from the other router.

If your asking what commands we used, I'll have to double check with my co-worker since he was the one entering them in.

thanks,
mike

Sounds like the boot statement is incorrect and it loaded the bootloader file only which is like a mini IOS that will load when the normal IOS doesn't , usually the bootloader is in bootflash, if you do a dir bootflash: you will probably see the bootloader. Add a boot statement "boot system flash slot0:<imagename> , it could be disk0: if you have a newer flash card .
