I posted this same question a few weeks back; you might find the posts there helpful. Also, you can look at this page:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_mod/cis4000/4000m/4000sig/vconfig.htm I am still uncertain of the answer, but have little time to research it further. I know, according to Cisco, if bit 13 of the register is not set, 0x102, theoretically, the router will boot: 1. To location specified in the boot statement in the config - if a statement exists, but the image can not be found, and all statements command a netboot, it will look for an image in flash, the boot to RMON if no image is in flash 2. If no boot statement, it will boot from network file - if no network file exists, the router will hang (because bit 13 not set) Add to this logic the idea that boot statements in config override the netboot sequence, and I am stuck with confusion about step 1 above. What happens if a boot statement exists, pointing to flash, but the image can not be found? Theoretically the router should hang if 0x102... however, when I tested it, the router defaulted to RMON. If you come up with a deifinitive answer, let me know.
