Cisco 3850, IOS-XE. change boot path withing writing to the startup config?

Cisco Catalyst 3850, IOS-XE

Hi, so I'm utilizing the ZTP feature, pulling down a Python file that runs inside the guestshell to provide configuration for our 3850's.

However, my problem is this. The factory OS that comes on the 3850s has a bug where the 40Gb SFPs are 'error disabled'. So i can console onto each one and download the firmware needed(cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.06.02.SPA.bin) and the do the command, boot system switch all flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.06.02.SPA.bin. but now the problem is that i have written to the startup config. so if i do a write erase and reload, it tries to revert back to booting from packages.conf, which fails of course.

Is there a way i can change the boot bath without effecting the start up config. I need no startup config because i need ZTP to happen of course.

many thanks
