Copying a Cisco IOS Image to Flash Memory
Bit 13 determines the server response to a bootload failure. Setting bit 13 causes the server
to load operating software from ROM after five unsuccessful attempts to load a boot file
from the network. Clearing bit 13 causes the server to continue attempting to load a boot
file from the network indefinitely. By factory default, bit 13 is set to 1.

Copying a Cisco IOS Image to Flash Memory
You may need to copy a new Cisco IOS image to Flash memory whenever a new image or
maintenance release becomes available. To copy a new image into Flash memory (write to
Flash), you must first reboot from ROM and then copy the new image into Flash memory.
You cannot copy a new image into Flash memory while the system is running from Flash
memory. Use the copy tftp flash command for the copy procedure.
Take the following steps to copy a new image to Flash memory:
Step 1 Enter the show flash command to make sure there is enough space available
before copying a file to Flash memory. Compare the size of the file you want to
copy to the amount of available Flash memory displayed.
Step 2 Make a backup copy of the current image.
Step 3 Enter enable mode and then enter the copy tftp flash command to copy the new
image into Flash memory:
Router> enable
Password:
enablepassword
Router# copy tftp flash
