All you have to do is configure a boot variable and the config
register. Something like:

 conf t
   no boot system
   boot system flash sup-bootflash:<your image name here>
   config-reg 0x2102
 end
 wr

And that's it. It always works for me.


You can check the boot variables with 'sh boot' and 'remote
command switch sh boot'.
