b.
Carefully slide the supervisor engine into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the

Depending on how your system bootstring is configured, your system might stay in
ROMMON. To boot the system from the CF adapter, enter the boot bootdisk: command.
Once you install the CF adapter, you must define the Cisco IOS bootstring as
boot system flash sup-bootdisk:[image name]
With SP ROMMON Release 8.4(2), the bootstring has to be defined as sup-bootdisk:. SP
ROMMON releases later than 8.4(2) only accept the bootstring defined as sup-bootflash:.
