[c-nsp] Dead 1721 router ... not even rommon

[Crooks, Samuel]

My coworker killed one of our 1721 routers.  He did something in the
following processing, and now when the router boots, when you press the
enter key, you get a triangle with a 2 superscript, instead of some sort
of prompt.

I had worked out a config file, and he was supposed to boot the router,
plug into console and ethernet, configure the fa0 int for dhcp, then
tftp the config to startup-config, and tftp a new IOS image to flash: .
he said he did this, although, I am thinking he maybe tftp'd the IOS
image to startup-config or something weird.


I have tried using CTRL-BREAK during boot to get to rommon, but don't
seem to get anywhere.  I also tried several different baud rate
settings, as it looks like a serial setting mismatch, to no avail.  I
verified my terminal settings were correct.


I get NO boot messages at all during the bootup process.

Any ideas?
