directory and delete all files that appear before the new boot
software. Files are marked with the del command and actually
deleted with the squeeze flash: command.
Caution Verify that at least one valid boot or runtime image will
not be deleted. If all boot and runtime images are
deleted from bootflash, the RPM-PR card must be
returned to the factory for repair.
