Copy the IOS into the appliance and change the boot variable string.  Reload the unit.

Hello Leo,

Thank you for the response. However i was expecting more details , such as how to use scp to upload the ios to the Cisco ASR router, /verify md5 commands to check integrity of the ios.

Verification steps to see which flash it points to...
