/flash0/ - Volume is OK
Loading myimage... DONE.
Note: If you reboot without specifying the image to boot with setboot as described above, the
device will attempt to load whatever image is currently stored in the bootstring using the set boot
system command. If the device cannot find the image, or it is not set, it will search through
available images and attempt to boot the newest one. It will then set the bootstring to whatever
image file name was successfully loaded.
