The NSE-100 ROM monitor software is compatible with any Cisco IOS image support as for the Cisco 7304 router. Currently the Cisco 7304 router is supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(9)EX or later.
Please refer to the next section for information on the caveats in ROM monitor software release 12.1(9r)EX that are fixed in release 12.1(12r)EX1.
In release 12.1(9r)EX, if the default boot image is not specified via the Cisco IOS boot bootldr configuration command, then the ROM monitor uses the first file on the bootdisk as the default boot image for booting from the network. In release 12.1(12r)EX1, the ROM monitor is smart enough to find the first executable Cisco IOS image as the default boot image.
In release 12.1(9r)EX, if the default Cisco IOS system image is not specified via the Cisco IOS boot system configuration command, then the ROM monitor boots up the first executable image on the bootdisk. In release 12.1(12r)EX1, this is fixed to boot the first executable image on the disk0 first. If this also fails, then it boots up the first executable image on the bootdisk.
