on where and how the image was downloaded into Flash memory.
This table describes the various ways an image might be downloaded
and the corresponding results of booting from Flash memory.

Result of Booting from
Flash
The image was downloaded as
the first file by a nonrelocat-
able image.
The image will execute in place
from Flash memory, like a run-
from-Flash image.
The image was downloaded
not as the first file by a nonre-
locatable image.
The nonrelocatable image will
not relocate the image before
storage in Flash memory. This
image will not be booted.
