5 boot change {primary |
secondary | default}
If your configuration displays no preconfigured operating system boot
parameters, use the boot change command to edit appropriate fields.
• The primary operating system boot parameters are used in the first attempt
to boot the system.
• The secondary operating system boot parameters are used if the primary
operating system boot selection is not available.
• The default operating system boot parameters are used if the secondary
operating system boot parameter selection is not available. The default
parameters always reside on the internal flash device (flash:).
NOTE:
These parameters, as well as other boot parameters, can be modified
in the CLI mode.
When you enter the boot change command, you are prompted for a response.
• Enter a new parameter or press the ENTER key (carriage return) to accept
the default parameter.
• Enter . (period) to clear a field.
• Enter - (dash) to edit a field above the current cursor position.
NOTE:
When you enter a new parameter that extends beyond 80 characters,
you cannot use the BACKSPACE key to correct any mistakes. If you make a
mistake, you must re-enter the parameter.
