I have a 7206 in production with 2 flash cards (slot0 and slot1)
Present IOS sits on slot0:
System image file is "slot0:c7200-p-mz.122-10b.bin"
Configuration register is 0x2102

New IOS is on slot1:
SFcolo-dsl>sho slot1
-#- ED ----type---- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name
1   .. image        BAADD90D 11B7940   25 18446528 Sep 22 2003 18:51:38 c7200-js-mz.122-15
.T7.bin
2131648 bytes available (18446656 bytes used)
SFcolo-dsl>

I need to upgrade to the IOS on slot1 but I cannot be there to do this,
so I want to make it as easy a possible to the admin to do.
There is no "boot system flash slot:<whatever><IOS filename>"
statement in the global config. If the admin swaps the cards, so
c7200-js-mz.122-15.T7.bin is in slot 0, and the only thing on it,
all that has to be done is reload the router, and the router boots
to the first IOS on the first card (slot0), correct ?
