Sounds like the IOS is missing on the flash card and your running and old
bootstrap.
If you have a working 4500 take the flash out and put it into one of these
to test this theory.
I just ran into to this last week while configuring a 2500.
The console port works only if there is a working IOS loaded. The old
bootstrap program has break disabled and if you don't have an IOS in flash
you can't change the config-register to enable break or boot to rommon.

Subject: 3 router same problem and not yet solved.
Hi,
Lets see who can crack this !!
This topic is discussed many time but i didn't get any answer then solved my
problem,anyhow I have 3 routers , two 4500 and one 4700 . non of the console
works. When i power-on the routers they give me the booting on the console
but at the end where i have to start it dont accept anything. All of my
routers gets this problem with in a week. I have applied the following
solution.
1- ram change
2- flash change
3- baudrate change
4- flow control none
5- scrollock toggle
6- hitting space bar at booting to get in to ROMMON
7- nothing on AUX port, dont see anything there too. (This is just because
router didnt finshed booting as the router is on
asking for the initial config.)
8- plugging in and out rapidily when booting.
9- tried hyperterminal, secureCRT, tera term
10- changed the console cable and converters at the ends.
Any more solution from the group... lets see...
