Nokia 7210 Configuration Manual page 126

Boot Options
If the boot.tim is not found in any of these locations, the boot procedure fails. If the
boot.tim image is found, the system searches for bof.cfg (the boot options file) on the
same storage device in the root directory. For example, if boot.tim is found on cf2:\,
the system also looks for bof.cfg in cf2:\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.
In some cases, the BOF may specify different storage device locations for the TiMOS
image (both.tim) and the configuration file. For example, the bootstrap image
boot.tim file may be located on cf1:\, but both.tim and the configuration file may not
be located on this device. You can use the show>system>information command
to identify the location of the BOF and the boot.tim image used to boot the system.
The following is a sample output of system information for the 7210 SAS-T.

boot option modes, and how the system processes these options and loads the boot
loader (boot.tim), the TiMOS image (both.tim), and the configuration file to make the
system operational and ready for use.
