Hi I have a standalone switch that wont boot up and can't find (package.conf) after I did an upgrade.
Below is the output directly after the reload after the upgrade.
Any help you can offer would be gratefully appreciated.

you still have cat9k_lite_iosxe.16.12.02.SPA.bin image on flash so you can boot from it. when in switch mode; initialize flash first , then see settings with set command (memorize ones you will change). there should be boot variable boot=flash:package.conf
change boot= variable to boot=flash: your.bin_file_full_name.bin , then type boot
Please make sure you follow upgrade instructions

I know the reason why.
The boot variable string is configured to boot a file, called "package.conf", not found in the flash/bootflash of the appliance.

The file found in the flash/bootflash is called "packages.conf".
In ROMMON, issue the command to boot the correct file:
boot flash:packages.conf
After the switch boots up properly, change the boot variable statement to point to the correct file:
conf t boot system flash flash:packages.conf end wr
Hope this helps.
