Getting booftile fail

Goatster

Just recently upgraded the ios to current version. 

During startup, getting error messages 

 

%SYS-6-READ_BOOTFILE_FAIL: tftp://255.255.255.255

 

It will try like 3 times, then boot the current version. 

From my understanding, its the first line in this that keeps doing it....

 

boot-start-marker
boot system tftp c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.157-3.M8.bin 255.255.255.255
boot system flash flash:c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.157-3.M8.bin
boot-end-marker

 

How do I edit out the tftp line?

Please be gentle, as I am new to CLI. 

Thank you
