I don't have anything to add on how to fix your problem but I wanted to
correct the notion that you need to be in the rommon mode.
You can copy tftp flash from the privileged mode. You'll get asked a few
questions, are you sure - etc and then the router will go off and do it,
reload and come back.
If you haven't done it across the wire before (I mean like, you're here and
the router is across the city) you haven't lived! (You know that pit in
your stomach as you're waiting for the router to come back up as you're
packing up your laptop for an emergency trip.......)
