Maybe I am just misunderstanding your answer but you can alter the flash
when the router is booted up normally. If you type the command "copy tftp
flash" and go through the prompts it will ask you if you want to erase the
flash and put the new one in. By erasing the flash and writing the new one
in there it is in essence altering the flash. I have done this many times
on a 2501 router. Am i mistaken as to what happens when you do a copy tftp
flash? Please advise.
