Boot.cfg is found in which directories?

• A. /flash/boot and /flash/config
• B. /root and /flash
• C. /flash/certified and /flash/working directories
• D. /flash/system and /flash/config

Answer: (C)

Understanding where boot.cfg lives is about how the device finds its startup instructions. On this platform, the boot loader looks in specific flash areas for the boot configuration that tells the system which image to load and how to initialize.

Those areas are /flash/certified and /flash/working. The certified directory holds official, signed images and configurations trusted by the boot process, while the working directory contains the current operational copies administrators may modify during maintenance. Having boot.cfg in both locations allows safe recovery and flexible management: if the working copy is corrupted or overwritten, the system can still boot using the certified copy.

Other paths such as /root or /flash/system or /flash/config are not used for boot configuration in this setup, so boot.cfg wouldn’t be expected there.
