Ian, my experience with boot statements is that if you enter it incorrectly
or configure it for a non-existing image, the device will boot up any image
it finds then in the filesystem, whether or not it's defined in a boot
statement. Have you had different experiences?

Subject: Re: Router Boot
Hi,
Any number of things can cause your router to boot into rommon mode.
Several have been mentioned such as a config-register setting or invalid
boot command setting...
Corruption of the image on the flash is another why the router would boot
into rommon mode. Other things that come to mind are an image that is too
large to run with the amount of memory you have so the router can't boot up
from flash. Another thought is the bootrom could be too old in relation to
the ram/flash/image you have. Just some things to think about and check.
Thanks,
Ian
