[c-nsp] 3800 stuck in rommon

[Murphy, Jay, DOH]

Hey that is fine, however, you need to squeeze the slot you have the CF installed into, in order to use the freespace. If you do not initiate a squeeze, you can't use the freespace. This is done after deleting any files, and to use the freespace on CF. So strictly speaking, let's say you have an image that is 40 MB on the CF, and you delete it, you only have 24MB of useable space, until you squeeze the CF... then you have a fully useable 64MB CF card. Otherwise, it's only 24MB of space, dude.

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 ...
