Need some help understaing Boot System Flash commands on 6503e

[Raydar]

Checking the 6503e config, came across the following boot commands, and wasn't able to find useful source for them. Can anyone give a brief desc on each and/or a good reference?

boot system flash sup-bootdisk:s3223-ipbasek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF4.bin

boot system flash bootflash:s3223-ipbasek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF4.bin

boot system flash disk0:s3223-ipbasek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF4.bin

[Reza Sharifi · Accepted solution]

These are boot statements.  They basically tell the device what software to load  (s3223-ipbasek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF4.bin) and where to load it from (flash sup-bootdisk)

The device usually uses the first one to boot from and if that is not available it goes to the second statement and so on...

If you issue sh flash or "dir" you will see the software.
