Hi all, I'm trying to pass on my old RB2011 to a friend... so did a reset: /system reset-configuration skip-backup=yes keep-users=no but now it's stuck in a boot loop. when it boots, it gets to: (console) MikroTik 6.45.7 (stable) MikroTik Login: login as admin, get about 2/3 of a page of the startup text... then it reboots. I've been trying a few things: Select which booter you want to load: * 1 - load regular booter 2 - force backup-booter loading your choice: 2 - force backup-booter loading tried to change the boot device fo "boot Flash Configure mode" I assume that it's got a corrupt FS or something - but... what's the quickest way to get this back to a factory default point from here, ready to do the initial walkthrough? Thanks! Chris

OK, worked out that a virtual interface on my laptop was mucking up etherboot / netinstall... disabled it and am now back into the device via console now. Cheers, Chris On Mon, 18 May 2020 at 12:31, Chris Herrmann <chrisherrmann7@gmail.com> wrote:
