Cisco ISR 1101 not keeping startup configuration between reloads

Please excuse what might me an off-topic post to this board. I have not found an appropriate board for my issue, and in here I assume most people with generic Cisco IOS and hardware experiences to be present.

I got a Cisco ISR 1101 running

17.03.05

to set up. In the months before, I've set up many

1111's 

without issue but this one leaves me puzzled.

Configuring the device works as expected. I'm doing a wr as usual. After a power-cycle, or a reload, the device boots without startup config.

At boot time, I get this message:

Router IOS Configuration has been cleared

************************************************************************************************************
Erasing Nvram will not clear license trust code.
************************************************************************************************************
No startup-config, starting autoinstall/pnp/ztp...

Autoinstall will terminate if any input is detected on console

Note: Configuration register is

0x2102

and the device is not just ignoring the

startup-config

at boot time, but apparently it's erasing it! At least that's how I understand the console output from above.

Router# show startup-config 
startup-config is not present

In addition, this precise string "Router IOS Configuration has been cleared" is not to be found by Google anywhere!

Has anyone seen this behavior before? Has someone a hint what would trigger such a behavior?

Thanks!
