Virtual Configuration Register Settings
Virtual Configuration Register Bit Meanings
The lowest four bits of the virtual configuration register (bits 3, 2, 1, and 0) form the boot
field. (See Table A-3.) The boot field specifies a number in binary form. If you set the boot
field value to 0, you must boot the operating system manually by entering the b command
at the bootstrap prompt, as follows:
> b [tftp] flash filename
The b command options are as follows:
• b—Boots the default system software from ROM
• b flash—Boots the first file in Flash memory
• b filename [host]—Boots from the network using a TFTP server
• b flash [filename]—Boots the file filename from Flash memory
For more information about the command b [tftp] flash filename, refer to the
Router Products Configuration Guide publication for Cisco IOS Release 11.0 and earlier
releases. Refer to the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide publication for
Cisco IOS Release 11.1 and later releases.
If you set the boot field value to a value of 0x2 through 0xF, and a valid system boot
command is stored in the configuration file, the router boots the system software as directed
by that value. If you set the boot field to any other bit pattern, the router uses the resulting
number to form a default boot filename for booting from the network using a TFTP server.
(See Table A-4.)
