[c-nsp] Experimental IOS Images

[John Neiberger]

I'm trying to help someone at another forum with a router boot problem
and I have a suspicion that they're running experimental IOS releases. I
can't find any information about these releases on CCO and I wanted to
see if someone here could confirm that these are not meant for
production boxes.

Here are the images I've seen mentioned so far:

c5350-is-mz.121-5.xM3.bin
c5350-is-mz.122-2.XA4.bin

And, from show version:

ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.1(2r)XD1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
BOOTFLASH: 5350 Software (C5350-BOOT-M), Experimental Version
12.1(20000922:142008) [nag-flo_t_0110 101]

That seems to bolster my argument that this guy is running experimental
images on the box and is now wondering why he's having problems.

Do any of you know anything about these images?

Thanks,
John
