Hi, This sounds like a simple question but Cisco documented command options don't seem to match the supervisor 2T file system.
The Command reference states use 'boot system flash' for internally stored files however the IOS images are stored on the bootdisk: partition, there is no flash: partition. The command has no option for bootdisk: so is the command 'boot system flash bootdisk:' or is it 'boot system bootdisk:'
Here are the options for the file location
#boot system ?
WORD TFTP filename or URL
flash Boot from flash memory
ftp Boot from a server via ftp
mop Boot from a Decnet MOP server
rcp Boot from a server via rcp
tftp Boot from a tftp server
Below is the file system output
#dir ?
/all List all files
/recursive List files recursively
all-filesystems List files on all filesystems

Hi,
The actual command is
boot system bootdisk:<ios name>
Even though bootdisk is not an option, you can just type it in and it should work.

Thanks again for responding to my question. In the end I used the Boot system bootidsk: command and it worked. That's not to say the Boot system flash boot disk: command wouldn't of worked I just didn't use it.
the upgrade went well and took about 45mins.

Thanks to both of you. As you both have lots of posts and solutions to your names and you've both given different commands I'm guessing they both work. I'm going to go with the boot system bootdisk: command an s if that fails I'll boot from romon. I'll let you know tomorrow if it's worked :-)

Just so you know, the command I posted is from a live 6800 with sup-2T.
Now, what Leo suggested may work as well.
Let us know.
