Try 'boot system tftp (image name) (ip address). Is the TFTP server on a
local segment to the router? Otherwise, you'll need a default gateway
statement, I believe. You can't rely on a routing protocol or a default
route to download an image. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think
that's how it works.

I'm trying to pull the system image, not configure file. The reason for me
download the image from tftp server is because my 2600 routers only have 8
meg of flash on them. Rommon mode will not do me any good cause I am not
download the image to the flash. When I boot up the router, it try to
access the tftp server, and I have noticed that the ethernet interface is
not up because I can't ping from the tftp server. After it failed, then it
just boot up the original image which sitting on the flash memory.
