Appendix C Using BootWare menus

Accessing the BootWare menu

The BootWare program is stored in the built-in flash. It consists of one basic segment and one extended

segment. The basic segment enables the system to complete basic initialization, and the extended

segment bootstraps the Comware software images.

Table 11 lists the menus that each segment provides and the major tasks you can perform with these

menus. You can access these menus only during system startup.
