So I'm brand new to Cisco awesome equipment though. I bought a switch and when I first booted it up it was stuck in a boot-loop. So I researched and read and through trial and error I got it unstuck and the correct image in place. So I am configuring the switch have not done a tftp server yet and follow a wrong procedure and assign the wrong ip address to the switch I was supposed to be doing a loop-back. So I figured I would just start over good practice right. I'm trying to self teach myself Cisco here that should tell you I'm not the brightest crayon in the box. So I do a clear config all and it works great so great that even though I had supposedly done a running config save I now have no boot image no slot0 image and no boot system flash bootflash image. I did however make me a tftp server with tftp64 but cant for the life of me get the command right for Rommon to drop me an image. Hell at one point I could see on a reset it said boot booted from 0x010 cat4500-entservicesk9-mz.150-2.SG10.bin it was right there just not in the right position I have been driving myself crazy here could someone please throw me in the right direction?

thats the thing no one was home during the day I got home and it was back to the other image. I put in the 142 to see if it would boot back to the right image it didn't so I did the bootflash cat again and it came back so now I am going to clear the other image hopefully.
