this:

%Error: System flash bank 1 chip 0 unknown, chip id 0xB803 (reversed =
0x1DC0)

%Error: System flash bank 1 chip 1 unknown, chip id 0x101 (reversed =
0x8080)

%Error: System flash bank 1 chip 2 unknown, chip id 0x101 (reversed =

Change the configuration register value to have the router boot from BOOT
... in this mode, the flash becomes Read/Write.

You can use the conf reg value 0x1.

router(config)# config-register 0x1
router# reload

router<(boot)># sh ver
.
.
.
16384K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)

Upgrade the router, change back the conf reg value to 0x2102, reload the
router and that's it.

Cheers,

hockito
