Multiple boot system images on Cisco IES Switches

Guys,

I have some IES (Industrial Ethernet Switches) in the network, and would like to know if is it possible to have two boot system images, one primary and another secondary.

In fact, I can't put the config lines "boot system flash:/image_name.bin" in running/startup-config, but I can see the image in the output of "show boot", as follows (notice that the second image is under a directory with the same name):

router# conf t

router# boot system flash:/ies-lanbasek9-mz.150-2.SE.bin
router# boot system flash:/ies-lanbase-mz.122-52.SE/ies-lanbase-mz.122-52.SE

As we can see bellow, nothing appears on running nor startup-config after command insertion:

router#sh run | i boot
boot-start-marker
boot-end-marker

router#sh startup-config | i boot
boot-start-marker
boot-end-marker

And in the "show boot" output, we can only see the image path that was last configured with "boot system" command. It seems like IOS replaces the image path that was configured first by the one that was last configured:

router#sh boot
BOOT path-list      : flash:/ies-lanbase-mz.122-52.SE/ies-lanbase-mz.122-52.SE
Config file         : flash:/config.text

Wierd stuff in "show version"

router#sh ver | i register
Configuration register is 0xF

Do you guys know if this platform, running this IOS (ies-lanbasek9-mz.150-2.SE.bin), supports multiple boot system images?

Thanks in advance!
