Cisco 2948G-ge-tx boot issue
I just got this switch and don't know how to make it boot on its own. I tried to add the boot image to the configuration and messed it up. i know this is a simple thing, i just can't quite get it going. It boots to rommon mode. To finish booting, i only need to type "Boot" and press enter.
Here is the "SET" params
Console> (enable) reset
This command will reset the system.
Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]? y

The text below was added by me and I put the wrong image name in and I think that is one of the issues that is keeping it from booting on its own. cat4000.5-1-1.bin is incorrect. It should say cat4000-k8.8-4-1GLX.bin and thats all.

Someone told me to type the following, but this gives an error
rommon 4 > BOOT=bootdisk: cat4000-k8.8-4-1-GLX.bin
Error cat4000-k8.8-4-1-GLX.bin: Command not found.
The switch works great if I don't have to manually finish the boot process anytime it would be power-cycled.
