When you remove the old flash, there goes your IOS. For some reason the
"rom" IOS doesn't allow you to download images via tftp from rom mode. You
will need to download IOS to the new Flash via your console port from
rommode.
One way to get around is if you have a flash card (not SIMMS), copy an IOS
image in there before you replace the SIMMS.
