In the following example, you replace the term in italics with the interface type you are using: command interface-type ROM Monitor Command Descriptions This section describes some useful ROM monitor commands.

Boot Commands in the ROM Monitor The router always boots first from a Cisco IOS software image in CompactFlash memory, because there is no separate, dedicated boot helper image ([rx]boot).
