Figure 8 System Initialization: Bootstrap Process for Auto-init Mode
When the both.tim file is successfully downloaded, control is passed from the
bootstrap image to the TiMOS image. The TiMOS image attempts to load the
configurations from the downloaded configuration file. If no configuration file location
is present in the BOF, the system is loaded with the default configuration.
See Auto-init Mode for more information about the auto-init mode process.
