This one's a bit old, but I haven't noticed a response to it.
Sorry to disappoint you, Jim, but the R2501(boot)# prompt does indeed mean
that a configuration register value is not set correctly. Or something
else has screwed up.
There was a thread recently about the capabilities of routers in boot mode.
You might like to check the archives (assuming you didn't sort this out
yourself ages ago).

Subject: Was: help with tacacs authentication -- Now: how did I do this?
Well all, here is the new configuration of my router. Seems one of those
commands did work after all. Can anyone tell me which one it was? Also, I
chose the hostname R2501, but the prompt is showing R2501(boot)#
My experience is with 4000 routers, 5000, 6500 and 3500 switches, and I
want
to be sure this prompt I have on the 2501 does not have something to do
with
a configuration register value that is not set correctly. The new scenario
when I log in, is a normal secret password gets me right in.
Yes, I will be upgrading the IOS, no need to recommend that one.
Sorry so verbose, but I wanted to be clear. ;-)
