RE: Router(boot)#

[Aaron K. Dixon]

It means that your router has booted off the boot roms.  Check to see if you have an image in flash and if the image is valid.  Notice in your show ver that you don't see any software other than the ROM bootstrap.  You can manually boot in boot mode by setting the config-reg to 0x2101, but yours is set to boot from flash.  Again check to see if you have an image and if it is valid.   Regards, Aaron K.
