And now... the answers!


1. (A, B, E).  The default location is Flash; if there's no valid image there, the router checks for a TFTP server from which to download the file; finally, the router looks to Read-Only Memory (ROM).


2.  (F, C).  The Cisco router will first look to its NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM) for the startup config file; if there isn't one there, the router will look for a TFTP server.   After that, you'll be prompted to enter Setup Mode.



3.  (C).  The keystroke to escape Setup Mode without saving your changes is ctrl-c.  The introductory dialogue for Setup Mode mentions this, but it's really easy to miss.
