ASR9k USB boot

[seek_1992]

Hi all

I was trying to password recovery my ASR 9006. in process of struggling to get into ROMMON which I wasn't able, the IOS XR crashed. When I trying to boot from USB (FAT32 filesystem) following message is shown. It worth mentioning that I had tried various methods of making the USB bootable by third-party software and then copying the content of the file "asr9k-mini-x64-6.6.3.iso" into the USB (In another case I just copy the ISO file into the USB). However, I face the following error when trying to boot from external USB (option 7):

So for cXR we need the mini.vm to turboboot the router, not related to password recovery.

eXR which you have has no method of password recovery so you have to PXE boot the box / USB boot.

You can follow the below guide for USB boot:
