You will need to xmodem the new IOS into the flash from the rommon monitor.

I suggest you set the configuration register to 0x3922 first which will set the
 console baud rate to 115,200 which will make the download go much faster then
the default 9600 bps.

Subject: 2611 Flash image install

Hi,

I just bought a 16MB Flash memory and I am trying to install an IOS
image on it. However when I put in the memory and turn the 2611 on, it
gives me the following error:

device does not contain a valid magic number
boot: cannot open "flash:"
boot: cannot determine first file name on device "flash:"

I looked up cco, which says it is because "The Flash is empty or the
filesystem is corrupted". The solution is to copy a valid image to it.
The problem is that I cannot get to router (boot)> mode, I cannot format
the flash memory, and I tried the "tftpdnld" in rommon > mode, it copied
the file ok, but has a "bad checksum comparison" error. (I guess I have
to format the flash), so how can I get the image into Flash?

Thanks for your help.

Roger
