Displaying Files from Boot and Images directory

You can view the list of image files (.bz files) from /boot and /code/images directories using the l (small letter L) option from the boot menu prompt. This allows you to select an alternate image file when the boot file gets corrupted. This option is available only when FIPS mode is disabled. You can view the files in a page view when there are more than 15 files in the directories. When SBC boots over network using ftp/sftp with the selected image file, this option does not update the boot param. This option displays image files from both /boot and /code/images directories irrespective of R226 license.

To use this option from the boot menu:
