7200 NPE-200 flash disk issue

[rvandommelen]

Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible to boot a

7200NPE-200 from a flash disk. I've read some issues on this that a primairy boot cannot work from a flash disk and has to be done from normal flash.

How can I boot the system after normal startup from the flash disk ?

Does anybody have a clue ? The bootflash code is 12.0.17S

Best regards,

"The 48-MB, 64-MB, and 128-MB Flash Disk are not supported with the NPE-100, NPE-150, or NPE-200 in a Cisco 7200 series system router or Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router."

You can use a non-ATA flash card (20MB is part number MEM-I/O-FLC20M=) to boot with the NPE-200.
