A router stores its IOS (Internetwork Operating System) in non-volatile memory, typically in Flash memory. This allows the IOS to persist even when the router is powered off or restarted. The configuration files, which define how the router operates, can also be stored in NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory) or Flash, depending on the setup. This ensures that the router can boot up with the correct operating system and settings.

When would the IOS image held in ROM be used to boot the router?

There is a question floating around that says "when the running-config directs the router to do so"... this is utter rubbish, how can the running-config tell the router to do so when there is no IOS?... no IOS means no running-config. To answer your question about when would the IOS held in ROM be used to boot the router?... when the IOS cannot be found by the Bootstrap it will eventually look in the ROM for it. It will look in the default location in the flash memory, if there is no IOS in the flash, then it will try to locate one from a TFTP server. If it still cant find an IOS then it will look in the ROM for a scaled down version of the IOS and load it from there. I hoep this put an end to the other false answers that are floating around.

What are two other locations that a router will look to obtain an IOS if it cannot locate one in flash?

If a router cannot locate an IOS in flash memory, it will first check the ROM (Read-Only Memory) for a bootstrap program to initiate the boot process. If a valid IOS is not found there, the router will then attempt to load the IOS from a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server over the network, assuming it has been configured to do so and can reach the server.
