Explanation:
The default boot sequence for Cisco IOS software:
1. NVRAM 2. Flash (sequential) 3. TFTP server (network boot) 4. ROM (partial IOS)
If a router boots up in ROM mode as shown in this example, it means that the router was unsuccessfully able
to find a valid IOS to boot from, and a valid IOS image will need to be loaded onto it.

Explanation:
The ROM Monitor is a very limited code set that enables you to perform elementary functions to manually get
the router or switch back to a functioning state. You can perform low-level diagnostics and even copy a new
IOS file to the Cisco device over the console port. It is also used after the break sequence is issued during
bootup for password recovery use.
