Given that this a 2500 series router, the flash is locked by default. You
will have to boot from the network first, then erase the flash and upgrade.

Also, if your flash consists of 2 separate chips, then you have to partition
them as a single logical entity. I think the command is "partition 0" , but
it has been so long, you might want to check me on that.

Subject: IOS Upgrade

I am having a problem upgrading my IOS. I have 16M Flash and 16M Memory.
Here is the output of show ver:

cisco 2522 (68030) processor (revision M) with 14336K/2048K bytes of memory.
Processor board ID 02936846, with hardware revision 00000001
Bridging software.
X.25 software, Version 3.0.0.
Basic Rate ISDN software, Version 1.1.
1 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 interface(s)
2 Serial network interface(s)
8 Low-speed serial(sync/async) network interface(s)
1 ISDN Basic Rate interface(s)
32K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.
16384K bytes of processor board System flash (Read ONLY)

When I try to do a copy tftp flash, I get the following message:
%Error: Image size exceeds free space

The image I am trying to load is only 14,152KB in size. It seems that I do
have enough space for this image, could anyone help to explain this? Thanks
in advance...
