Really?

Do you see a file extension on the command you entered?

"rommon 2 > boot flash:c2600-i-mz.122-12a"

What if you had two files in flash named c2600-i-mz.122-12a.bin, and
c2600-i-mz.122-12a.tar?

Wouldn't you need to specify an extension?

He also suggested "dir flash:".

Post the output of "dir flash:", and any "boot system" statements in the
existing config.

You did backup a copy of the existing config before you commenced this
process, didn't you?

I did a dir flash: already and it is the only file that is up. there
is no .tar file. it states that it is the only file on.

You mis-understood my point.

I was not suggesting that both files existed. I was giving you an
example of "why" extensions should be specified when entering commands.

The following is from your post. Note the absence of the file extension.

"rommon 2 > boot flash:c2600-i-mz.122-12a"

I was trying to get you to specify the extension in the command; to
share the output of "dir flash:", and the "boot system" statements in
the existing config so we could end the flailing.

rommon command output from a functioning 2600 router:

rommon 6 > dir flash:
File size Checksum File name
16083780 bytes (0xf56b44) 0x1c3a c2600-ik9o3s3-mz.123-26.bin

rommon 7 > boot flash:c2600-ik9o3s3-mz.123-26.bin
program load complete, entry point: 0x80008000, size: 0xf56a28
Self decompressing the image : #################

If this is not what you get when you enter the same commands ( using
the filename from your router),
then you will need to get documentatiin on the rommon tftpdnld command
and TFTP a new IOS image to flash:
