The CF card is 64 MB and the image is approx 40MB so that can't be it.

I can use the USB port for booting if my rommon version supports it, it does
not ;-{

Can I upgrade rommon from rommon? I am still looking via cisco.com, I tried
rommon-pref,
ot sure how to use that.

I kicked off xmodem, hopefully it will be done tomorrow morning!!!!!

I found reference that 2800 and the 3800 support class B and C file-systems,
so

There is also a tftpdnld switch that allows you to copy it directly to DRAM
and boot not
copying to flash, that did not work either.


I appreciate all the help, the initial tftpdnld should have worked, IOS
size, checksum, etc .... all good ...
