Are you able to boot the ASA using the image from TFTP at all? If yes, have you formatted the flash then put the image on it?

Mohamed El-Ansary · ‎02-05-2013

Thanks for ur reply,

No, i can't boot from TFTP(i need to do that then copy this image to my flash disks).

about flash ------> i get this asa with 2 flash disks have no files( one internal and another external).

so please if have any idea about the problem is, or how to make it boot from tftp and about configuration regester from rommon.

thanks.

why can't you boot the image from tftp? can you provide the error message? try confreg 0x4. you will need to boot the asa first, then try formatting the flash card, save the running activation key first after you are able to boot from tftp.
