Configuration Guide
During bootup, the bootrom searches for the boot.tim image in the internal flash
(cf1:\) and uses the image obtained from this location to load the bootstrap image. If
the boot.tim image is not found in this location, the boot procedure fails. If the
boot.tim image is found, the system searches for bof.cfg (the boot options file) in the
root directory on the storage device. That is, if boot.tim is found on cf1:\, the system
also looks for bof.cfg in cf1:\bof.cfg.
If bof.cfg is found, the system uses the BOF to locate the TiMOS software (both.tim
file), configuration file, and other boot parameters, and processes them to boot the
system. If the BOF is not found, the system attempts to retrieve the BOF from the
network using the auto-init mode and create a new BOF as part of the auto-init
process.
Refer to the appropriate 7210 SAS chassis installation guide for more information
about booting the system using these options.

on the 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12, these platforms do not
support the golden bootstrap image.
During bootup, the bootrom searches for the boot.tim in the following locations in the
specified order and uses the image obtained from the first location where boot.tim is
found to load the bootstrap image:
