Hi
I am currently trying to configured a cisco router to tried to boot the ios from flash first and if the flash fails then use a tftp server.
I configured the devices with the following boot statements
boot system flash:c3825-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25e.bin
boot system tftp://1.1.1.2/c3825-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25e.bin
I also tried to configured the tftp this way
boot system tftp c3825-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25e.bin 1.1.1.2
When I tried to test this, I deleted the file from flash but the router never boots with the tftp server ios.
This is the error
boot canot load "tftp://1.1.1.2/c3825-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25e.bin"
I know there is IP connectivity and If I only perfrom 1 boot command the tftp one. The router will boot from the tftp with no problem. I also tried to change the config-register to 0x010F but no luck.

I don't have any experience with booting to a TFTP server but how about booting to a USB stick instead?
