[c-nsp] Boot from TFTP

[Murphy, Jay, DOH]

Scott,

At the router prompt type 'more flash:'. This will tell you how much memory you have available, and whether or not, you have available room to support another tftp loading of the latest IOS rev. If you do not have enough memory, you can delete the current image, and then tftp load the new, if sufficient space exists. Moreover, I would do this if you are feeling ambitious. I normally can it swing it without cause. The 'sh ver' command will reflect your overall total memory, not used memory per se. The ATA CompactFlash card is the actual reflection of CompactFlash memory. As Peter stated earlier, it appears the image is larger than the available flash mem headroom.

I'm guessing it's the flash. You probably have 51691544 bytes left on
the flash device. The image is 64562864 bytes.
