The best I can do is the explanation I have in front of me. Which is for
example,
If you have a failed upgrade of Flash then the router will most of the time
boot to the Router(boot)> command. If it goes to the ROMMON mode then the
router is not looking for a boot image. At the router(boot)> command the
router has boot up from a scaled-back version of Cisco IOS. This will allow
easier upgrading of the failed attempt i.e. you can still use tftp commands
in this mode whereas in ROMMON you have to painfully Xmodem the flash down
to the router through the console cable.
Hope this helps.

Subject: (boot) mode?
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has come across a router where the hostname
showed up as such:
Router(boot)#
one of my peers has told me this means the router did not fully boot up. Is
this true? Boot mode is what he called it. Any help is much appreciated in
advance.
