Refer to the exhibit. What two commands will allow the Nexus 5000 switch to continue to boot? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. boot n5000-uk9-kickstart.5.2.1.N1.4.bin B. load n5000-uk9.5.2.1.N1.4.bin. At the Nexus 5000 loader prompt during a boot recovery scenario, the 'boot' command loads the kickstart image and the 'load' command loads the system software image to complete startup.

Why each option
At the Nexus 5000 loader prompt during a boot recovery scenario, the 'boot' command loads the kickstart image and the 'load' command loads the system software image to complete startup.
'boot n5000-uk9-kickstart.5.2.1.N1.4.bin' is the correct loader prompt command to load and execute the NX-OS kickstart image, which initializes the hardware and provides a minimal environment for loading the full system image.
'load n5000-uk9.5.2.1.N1.4.bin' is the correct command issued after kickstart is running to load the full NX-OS system image, completing the two-stage boot process required on Nexus 5000.
'copy kickstart-latest' is not a valid boot loader recovery command - the 'copy' command in that context is used for file operations, not for initiating the kickstart boot sequence.
'copy system-latest' is not a valid command to load the system image at the boot loader prompt - the correct command is 'load' followed by the explicit system image filename.
The 'boot' command does not accept an 'admin-password' parameter - admin password configuration is performed within NX-OS after the system has fully booted, not as a boot argument.
The 'load' command is used for the system image, not the kickstart image - using 'load' with the kickstart filename is incorrect because kickstart is launched via the 'boot' command.
