Actually, I had this exact message this morning on a 2620. This is what it
reports when there is no IOS present in FLASH. In my case, I had just
upgraded from 8 to 16 MB of FLASH so, of course, there was no software
present. Also, a 2600 has only one slot for FLASH.
> Unfortunatley, this won't work. The router is not saying there is no IOS
it

put

> the router in the first slot and the new flash into the second slot. When
> the router finds the IOS on the old flash and boots, go into config mode
and
> partition the flash.
