For the older bootroms, you can change the boot mode (when at the ">" prompt)
by issuing the o/r command followed by the config register change required.

I believe the command needed (check to be sure) is o/r 0x2101. Use "i" on the
next line to reboot the router. It should come up in boot mode and allow you to
upload new IOS to it.
My apologies if this has been answered already.
Thanx,
