[c-nsp] Error loading IOS onto Cisco2821

[Jonathan Charles]

Well, from rommon, there isn't much you can do...

The goal was to format the flash, and then tftp (in IOS, after it loaded)...

The timeouts could be a network issue... or you are using an older
tftp server that doesn't support files larger than 18.4mb.
