Hi,
I am having problems setting the boot variable on ASA 5520. I downloaded the image from cisco.com. Please assist.
ASA/act(config)# boot system disk0:/asa804-k8.bin
WARNING: BOOT variable added, but not a valid image disk0:/asa804-k8.bin
Solved! Go to Solution.

You should use tftp to transfer your files. Download the images from cisco.com on to your server.
Use tftpd32 or any other free tftp server software (Kiwi Cat Tools does it too), and then use ASA command line to 'copy tftp' images across.
I suggest you re-do this for your ASA image too.

I believe your problem is that you need to download the latest ASDM image that is supported by 8.0(4), i.e. ASDM 6.2(1).
Copy that to flash, and change it using:
asdm image disk0:/asdm-621.bin
boot system disk0:/asa804-k8.bin

I get the following error while transfering the asdm
Accessing ftp://administrator:xxxxx@192.168.161.19/asdm-621.bin...!!
md5(0xe52fb258 0x6bd5bea5 0xe7d08588 0x6b8a09b0)
Failed to verify ASDM file hash.
