 I have done it, although I didn't use any higher speed than 9600 and
 the IOS was some 12.1E native image. But yes, it was possible and it
 took ages. Probably, it'll work also with larger IOS images than what
 12.1E onees used to be.

 The image was not loaded to bootflash/PCMCIA/CF but to memory or such
 from which the boot loader read and booted the box with it.

 Cheers,
