I have done this several times in several types of routers.
What I have had to do to make this work is to first either erase all of the
flash, or format the flash. Then when you boot from rom, it will see the
different flash devices as one. Then you can upload your new image into the
merged flash.

Jamey,
You are totally correct, this is what caused the confusion, When I checked
with TAC engineers three months ago about this, I wanted to upgrade the IOS
for a 7200 router which has two 8 mg PCMCIA flash cards, they told me it
can't be done because the two cards will never show up as one 16mg card, It
is my fault that I forgot that the issue was with the external and not the
internal flash, and to make things even worse, when I checked to make sure I
was correct about this issue, I spoke to the same engineer and I think he
was under the impression that I was talking about the 7200 and not a 2500
router when he said It can't be done....
Well, sometimes things don't work out the way they should, but it is all for
best.....
I do apologies for the confusion
Thanks
Louie

If the flash is internal then you can definitely have them appear as a 16MB
Partition if you so choose.
For external flash cards then you cannot have the partitions span cards.
