    Doing a 'copy running-config startup-config' saves my configuration, but any ideas why a 'reload' doesn't load the startup-config file? I have to do a 'copy startup-config running-config' by hand.

    My 'configuration register' is 0x2142

    That config-register value tells the router to ignore the startup-configuration.

    You should be able to change it to 0x2102 without problems, but I would keep a copy of the good configuration first!

    From enable mode, you can:configure terminal
    config-register 0x2102

    A show version should tell you that the config-register will be 2102 at the next reboot.
