show running-config boot system isn't showing the config file data

[bobleffler]

I have a ASA 5505 that I'm in the process of upgrading from 8.25 -> 8.46 -> 9.3

Following the upgrade instructions:

configure terminal

show running-config boot system    

the problem is that this command isn't showing any results, like:

router#

router# configure terminal

router(config)#

router(config)# show running-config boot system

router(config)#
 

I suspect I'm missing something dumb and obvious, but at the moment I can't figure out what.  Any suggestions?

thanks,

bob

Why is your ASA hostname "router"? Are you sure you're logged into the correct device?

Please try "show version" from enable prompt (not from config mode).

If there is nothing in the output then configure a path to point the OS with which the ASA will boot up at the time of reboot.

copy the ASA software code to your ASA.

And then configure:

boot system disk0:/<name of the asa image present in disk0>

eg:

boot system disk0:/asa915-19-k8.bin

Hope it helps!

That was it, there was no config present, once I created on, then the command worked
