Another oddity in rem com sw sh boot:

#rem com sw sh boot

BOOT variable does not exist
CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist
BOOTLDR variable does not exist
Configuration register is 0x2142 (will be 0x2102 at next reload)

On all our others, the BOOT variable reflects the list of IOS's for which 
we have boot system statements in the config.  Is the BOOT variable empty 
because the confreg was 0x2142 (ignore config) at bootup, and next time we 
boot, assuming the 0x2102 sticks, the BOOT variable will show up properly 
populated?
