I sent that too soon. I meant, to eliminate TFTP'ing
the image off a 2500 as a problem put the image on
your PC and set it up as TFTP server. Then try
TFTP'ing from your PC to the 4000. You'll probably get
the relocatable image error still... I'm not sure if a
newer boot prom version adds support for relocatable
images or not with the 4000. A brief look on CCO
didn't reveal anything.
If a image on the 2500 is running from flash - the
flash is read-only. Try TFTP'ing the image from the
2500 with your PC to see if it sends it to you. I
don't have a 2500 handy to try. This isn't going to
solve your problem but would be interesting to see
result.
