[c-nsp] c6509 booting in ROMMON

[Youssef Bengelloun-Zahr]

Hello,

My bootvar / confreg looks correct to me, doesn't it ?

BB1.IX1#sh bootvar
BOOT variable =
sup-bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH2a.bin,1;
CONFIG_FILE variable =
BOOTLDR variable =
Configuration register is 0x2102

Y.
