Note: If you reboot without specifying the image to boot with setboot as described above, the

device will attempt to load whatever image is currently stored in the bootstring via the set boot

system command (“set boot system” on page 2-75). If the device cannot find the image, or it is not

set, it will search through available images and attempt to boot the newest one. It will then set the

bootstring to whatever image file name was successfully loaded.
