If the XP boots up from the PC flash card and cannot find a valid image, it goes into boot prom
mode. If the en0 interface is configured and connected to a network, you can download an image to
the PC flash by using the system image add command in Enable mode. If the en0 interface has not
been configured, then you will need to configure it by specifying the following: IP address and
netmask of the XP, IP address of the TFTP server, and IP address of the default gateway. Use the
following command in boot mode:
set net-addr
set netmask
set boot-addr
set gateway
Then, boot the XP by specifying the following command:
boot
Alternatively, you can use the set boot source command:
set boot source
Once the XP has booted from the TFTP server image through en0, you can add the new image to
the PC card by using the system image add command.
Additionally, you can use the following commands to display, add, and delete system images:
Copy a system software image to the XP. system image add [primary-cm][backupcm]
Select a system software image. system image choose primarycm|backup-cm|none
List system software images on the PC flash card. system image list primary-cm|backup-cm|all
Delete a system software image file from the PC
flash card.
Configuring System Settings
system image delete primanycm|backup-cm
In addition to the initial settings described in the Getting Started Guide, there are additional system
features you can set on the XP.
