So everytime I start the switch I have to enter boot command to start up the boot process. Anyway to pass it? It's annoying when power goes out and switch just stays there. and network stops.

You could try
BOOT=flash: name of switch ios).bin
-see that works
Or
in configuration mode on the switch try
#conf t
(config)#boot system flash: name of switch ios).bin
if that does not work either
Also take a look at your config-register off the top of my head I don't remember the default I think its 0x10F -

config reg is 0X10F.
What does the (config)#boot system flash: name of switch ios).bin command do?Achieved CCNA R & S. Next : MCSA 2012

it basically hardcodes the switch to boot from the configured ios. That command is helpful when you have more then one IOS on the flash or in different locations depending on the platform. In that case the switch won't make the choice for you and just go to the Switch: prompt.
