If you do boot system flash, it will attempt to boot the system image file.
I do not believe you can take the config from flash, but you can definitely
take a config from tftp by doing 'boot network tftp' command.

That is, unless something like that is introduced in the latest and greatest
IOS.

Subject: saving large configs to flash instead of NV?

We have a problem with a really large config that will
not fit into NVRAM (don't even get me started :)) I
know there is a way we can copy the config into flash
and have already done that. The problem is what do we
need to change in the reg or the config so that the
router would boot its config file from flash in case
of an unintended reload? I have tried:
copy running-config flash

works and the file shows in show flash. Then I set the
boot system flash:running-config command. Reload and
it doesn't work. Is there an additional registry
setting that we need to set to make it work? Platform
is 5300.

Thank you!
