OT: unformatted flash for 2611

Hi List.

Long time no see. :-)

Patching, rack-mounting and formatting - getting ready for the next try. :-)

Got 2611 routers with 16Mb flash, apparently unformatted.

Is the any way other than xmodem on 115 Kbod to load IOS from ROMMON?
ROMMON cannot format flash and tftpdnld depends on formatted flash.

Following this URL does not help either.

Am I missing something?

Cheers,
A.
