#set boot command

clear boot system flash bootflash:cat4000.5-4-2.bin <cr>                        

BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4000.6-1-2.bin,1;

*note: this shows the only boot variable in the switch now

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4000.6-21-2.bin,1;bootflash:cat4000.6-1-2.bin

*note: the prepend command puts this line item first in the boot variable.
