Change Boot Config file

You can change the boot config with:

boot system disk0:/xxxxx

Doan

Have you switched to config mode before entering that command? Write conf t and press Enter. Then add the command boot system disk0:/asdm-523.bin

The ASDM file will not boot the system.

use: boot system disk0:/asa721-k8.bin

Once you write that to memory perform a show boot command:

XXX-01# sh boot

BOOT variable = disk0:/asa722-k8.bin;disk0:/asa721-k8.bin Current BOOT variable = disk0:/asa722-k8.bin;disk0:/asa721-k8.bin CONFIG_FILE variable = Current CONFIG_FILE variable = XXX-01#

If you are talking about changing the ASDM file, verify the proper .bin file is located on the disk if there perform:

asdm image flash:asdm.bin

Once you do this and write memory and reload the new file system should load.
