I have the same issue. If you don't want to load it from tftp, you may
compress the image using the Unix compress command (note- I tried WinZip
with no success). Save the file with .mz and upload to the router. One
drawback to this method is that a 2500 takes a very long time to uncompress
the image into ram. Here's the output from show flash....
Hope this helps,
