Hi David,
        I had a similar problem a while back. Now this might not be what you're
doing....
My router would boot up, into 'mini' IOS. I would then assign an IP address
to e0, and ping TFTP fine. I would then initiate the copy process. As part
of the process (I think it was just before the copy started), the router
would reboot, again no problem here. However once the router tried to start
the copy, it wouldn't be able to find the TFTP server.
Solution.....
When the router rebooted, it lost it's IP address (it had never been saved)
and hence couldn't talk to the TFTP server.Copy run start after I had
assigned the IP fixed it.
 Gained a few grey hairs over this one !
HTH, Regards.
                Lachlan

Subject: Newbie question

Hi folks. I just started the mailing list today. My lab date is June 19-20
in SJ. Here is my question:

I am trying to tftp to a router that has no IOS in flash, basically it has
booted the mini IOS off of the bootflash.

I try to tftp an IOS off of a directly connected TFTP server, everything
seems to work.

The questions come up, the router verifies that it can find the file on my
tftp server. It asks to clear the flash and I let it, then it says that it
can't find the IOS on my TFTP server and the copy stops...

Any ideas?

Dave
