Okay then...the 3600 doesn't load its image using tftp from rommon...bummer.
try this link:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_mod/cis3600/3600ig/3600rom.htm
and try this procedure (i'm stealing from the 2600 h/w config):
1. Type confreg 0x2142 at the rommon 1> prompt - it bypasses NVRAM
2. Reload the router. The boot ROM should have enough of an image to get the
router started. If it doesn't, then go back into rommon mode and try this
tftpdnld setup - the variable names in capital letters ARE case sensitive
replace the addresses, masks, and filenames with your own.
also, if you're loading from a pc and the IOS filename has an extension,
remember to add that, too.
(I'm not 100% positive that the 3600's supported tftpdnld...this comes from
the 2600 series hardware install manual located at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_mod/cis2600/2600hig/rom.htm
)
IP_ADDRESS=172.15.19.11
IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
DEFAULT_GATEWAY=172.16.19.1
TFTP_SERVER=172.15.20.10
TFTP_FILE=/tftpboot/2600-i-mz
tftpdnld -r
the router should reload
3. When it asks if you want to enter the startup configuration mode, answer
n
4. Enter enable mode after the interfaces have all been initialized, then
copy start run
config t
enable secret yournewpassword
config-reg 0x2102
^z
wr t - make sure you have the correct ip addresses on your interfaces, and
that the router is loading IOS from the correct tftp boot source on your
network
If none of this works, you might want to open a ticket with Cisco TAC.
good luck!
