Alcatel-Lucent 7705 - Files on the Compact Flash

Initializing and Provisioning
Page 120 7705 SAR-8 Installation Guide
When the system finds the boot.ldr file, the system processes the initialization
parameters from the BOF (boot option file). The BOF should be on the same drive as the
boot.ldr file. If the BOF cannot be found or loaded, then the system prompts the user for
alternate software and configuration file locations.
When the system software is successfully loaded, control is passed from the boot loader file
to the system software. The system software attempts to locate the configuration file as
configured in the BOF. The configuration file includes chassis, CSM, adapter card, and port
configurations, as well as system, routing, and service configurations.
Figure 34 displays the compact flash directory structure and file names.
