boot system {filesystem : /file-url ... |
switch {number | all}}
Specifies the Cisco IOS image to load
during the next boot cycle and the stack
members on which the image is loaded.

The package provisioning file, also
referred to as the packages.conf file, is
used by the system to determine which
software packages to activate during
boot up.
• When booting in installed mode,
the package provisioning file
specified in the boot command is
used to determine which packages
to activate. For example boot
flash:packages.conf.
• When booting in bundle mode, the
package provisioning file
contained in the booted bundle is
used to activate the packages
included in the bundle. For
example, boot flash:image.bin.
boot manual
Enables manually booting the switch
during the next boot cycle and changes
the setting of the MANUAL_BOOT
environment variable.
The next time you reboot the system,
the switch is in boot loader mode. To
boot up the system, use the boot flash:
filesystem :/ file-url boot loader
command, and specify the name of the
bootable image.
