I posted this same question a few weeks back; you might find the posts there
helpful. Also, you can look at this page:

I am still uncertain of the answer, but have little time to research it
further. I know, according to Cisco, if bit 13 of the register is not set,
0x102, theoretically, the router will boot:
1. To location specified in the boot statement in the config
- if a statement exists, but the image can not be found, and all statements
command a netboot, it will look for an image in flash, the boot to RMON if
no image is in flash
2. If no boot statement, it will boot from network file
- if no network file exists, the router will hang (because bit 13 not set)
Add to this logic the idea that boot statements in config override the
netboot sequence, and I am stuck with confusion about step 1 above. What
happens if a boot statement exists, pointing to flash, but the image can not
be found? Theoretically the router should hang if 0x102... however, when I
tested it, the router defaulted to RMON.
If you come up with a deifinitive answer, let me know.
