Not that this makes sense, but the CPA (white box) routers were Cisco's
attempt to limit the usable IOS via ROM code. If you upgrade the ROM's to
the 11.0 (10c)'s, this box works just like any other 2500. Why I say all
this, is that it appears our man does not have the most basic of commands in
(boot)# mode.
