I just tried doing a Write Erase on the MSFC and a reboot. Now the Catalyst is showing me a Router(boot)#. It can boot with the IOS and function but why does the (boot) appear. Any inputs greatly appreciated ?
Thanks in Advance,

It did not boot all the way up . I have seen this also when doing a wr erase , it wipes out the boot statement I think . From that prompt do a dir bootflash: and see what image is there , then do a boot bootflash:
