    Set the required image to boot variable:

    ASA(config)# boot system disk0:asa941-lfbff-k8.SPA
    INFO: Converting disk0:asa941-lfbff-k8.SPA to disk0:/asa941-lfbff-k8.SPA
    ASA(config)# sh boot
    BOOT variable = disk0:/asa941-lfbff-k8.SPA
    Current BOOT variable = disk0:/asa941-lfbff-k8.SPA
    CONFIG_FILE variable =
    Current CONFIG_FILE variable =

    You can reload the ASA and wait that the new ASA-OS boots up:

    ASA#reload
