Removing TFTP from Boot variable

Hi all,

I'm having issues upgrading the firmware on a 1101 rugged router. I transferred the new firmware using

TFTP

from my laptop to the router. However, after using the

boot system flash bootflash:filename

command and reloading, it goes into a boot loop saying:

TFTP boot

command not supported

........

autoboot: boot failed, restarting...

Resetting .......

I'm able to boot to rommon to choose a firmware to boot to and after checking boot variables it shows this: 

BOOT variable = tftp:ir1101-universalk9.17.09.03.SPA.bin 255.255.255.255,12;tftp:ir1101-universalk9.17.09.03.SPA. 255.255.255.255,12;flash:/ir1101-universalk9.17.09.03.SPA.bin,12;bootflash:ir1101-universalk9.17.09.01.SPA.bin,1;
CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist
BOOTLDR variable does not exist
Configuration register is 0x2102

Standby not ready to show bootvar

Why does it keep trying to boot to

tftp?

I tried some commands to remove that first part of the bootvar, but it's still there.

Never mind. Issue was resolved. 

When attempting to remove the "tftp" line in the boot variable, I was copy and pasting from 

sh boot

.

tftp:ir1101-universalk9.17.09.03.SPA.bin

 This was incorrect. After I copied and pasted what I saw in 

sh run

, I was able to remove that part of the boot variable.

Sorry about that! I've edited my solution to reflect what I did.
