Sorry Ive bee AFK for a while

Boot the firewall from the network like this the process is the same for a 5506-X but you connect interface 2 to the LAN

You will need to setup TFTP on something I prefer 3cdeamon for windows

If you have a mac then TFTP is built in

It takes the image from Disk0 ???
As per the link I posted, it should boot correctly....

maybe your config-register value is incorrect? Try checking the  current value:

rommon>confreg

When ASA asked to change, choose no 'n'. What's the stated value?

rommon 1 > confreg

Configuration Register: 0x00000001
Configuration Summary
 [ 0 ] password recovery
 [ 1 ] display break prompt
 [ 2 ] auto-boot image in disks
 [ 3 ] console baud: 9600
 boot: ...... auto-boot index 1 image in disks

do you wish to change the configuration? y/n  [n]:  n

That looks correct. At rommon, can you manually boot? Then set the boot image?

rommon>boot

If and when it fully boots tell it to boot your image from disc0 (make sure the below file location is correct):

ciscoasa#conf t
ciscoasa(config-t)#boot system disc0:/asa962-lfbff-k8.SPA
ciscoasa(config-t)#wr
ciscoasa(config-t)#reload

it doesn't boot correctly from rommon, after reboot it goes back to rommon

i mean it goes in reboot loop, if i escape it goes to rommon

It's not finding the software image, or maybe it's corrupt. Do you see your image as per the below 'dir disc0' command?

it has : asa961-lfbff-k8.SPA
but I have uploaded the other from tftp.....

Did you ever get yours fixed?

I'm having the same issue with one I bought, but when I do dir disk0: it says "file system not supported". Even with the flash (msata ssd) removed from the ASA it still gets the same error you are getting. I'm thinking it is another issue with something on the board itself, but I ordered an msata to usb adapter to check the flash ssd drive on my PC.

no answer ever found...

No solution
