I was doing an excercise on restoring the router configuration and messed up. When I ran the copy tftp flash it downloaded correctly then i tried the copy tftp run and I ran into problems. Here's the problem i'm stuck at the kaj(boot) prompt.
What's the meaning of this? How do I return to either the user exec mode kaj> or privileged mode kaj#
Ex.
kaj(boot)#sh ver

never mind i just figure it out.I interrupted the boot sequence using the ctrl+break then typed o followed by o/r and the new register value 0x2102 hit enter reboot and everything back to normal at least now i know and hopefully i'llnever forget.
