The 4500 uses a boot helper image when it starts up. The boot helper is a
cut down IOS that (hopefully) recognises most of your devices (useful if
you need to use tftp) and then tries to load the main IOS.
You shouldnt need to upgrade the bootflash, although I would make sure you
have a fairly up to date boot helper image as the boot helper is actually
quite helpfull if there are problems loading your main ios image.

Hello Group,
I want to beef up my 4500M+ to 16MB Flash so I can run 12.2 code on it...
Under the show version (as below), I see 2 different flash:
4096K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)
4096K bytes of processor board Boot flash (Read/Write)
How does the 4500M+ works? Does it mean that I will need to have both the
System Flash Boot Flash up to 16MB? If so, does anyone where I can find
some?
And if I need to find them, are they just called?
4500M System Flash
AND
4500M Boot Flash
Thanks so much for the help in advance,
Regards,
Hunt
