We received our first pair of 4500X switches, and proceeded to try to
prepare them for deployment.  They came up OK on console access, we got
a very basic configuration setup, linked them together, and did an
initial VSS pairing.

With that successful, we put in a management IP address for the
management port, saved everything, and proceeded to move them to the
server room.

Upon power-up at the new location, they won't boot...

I thought you were running into the confreg issue but it appears you have the upgraded rom in which this is fixed. Odd.

What's the normal commands show in rommon (dev, dir flash:, etc)? Everything there?
