I had this problem before too. I am not exectlly sure about the following
but I believe this is what I did.
I loaded 1 the 8 meg in the slot I took it out of (because the bootstrap
will look in the same location) and loaded the 16 meg in the other slot. I
copied the ios to TFTP. I then did a partition on the 16 meg of flash. I
tftp'ed the IOS to the 16 meg flash. I took out the 8 meg and moved the 16
meg to the 8 meg slot and put in the second 16 meg. The bootstrap found the
IOS on the just part'ed flash. I then erased flash, partitioned into 1
large part and reload the the IOS again from TFTP.

Hi ,
Recently I had to upgrade a cisco3640 from 8 M flash to 32 M flash , I was
provided with 2 x 16 M flash .
I took out the 8M flash and plugged in the 2 16M flash ram .
I did a xmodem transfer of the ios to the flash . When I booted
the router is gave me an error .
"System Bootstrap, Version 11.1(20)AA2, EARLY DEPLOYMENT RELEASE SOFTWARE

I took out the new flash and plugged in the original flash with one 16M
Flash and I was able to boot from the original flash memory , but I still
got the error
get_man_dev: Unknown device - probably NOT formatted.
get_man_dev: Unknown device - probably NOT formatted.
I was using ios 12.08 ip/ipx/at/dec plus, I could not find any command to
format the flash . I have tried partitioning the flash and erasing the flash
but still get the
same error .
Can any noe tell me how I can format the new flash memory ?
thanks
