romon error/ flash problem

[Tahree]

 I  get start getting this error on trying to reset my enable password on Cisco 2900 router .. I remove my flash to goto romon and when I reset my 0x2142 register the router boots to romon and i get the above error

Ok, now that the config registry has been changed, pop the flash back in and boot the router.

On booting its gives the attached error and goes again to romon

That's because the boot variable statement is incorrect. Someone has configured the boot variable to be "boot system flash" instead of "boot system flash flash:".

While in ROMmon, post the complete output to the command "dir flash:".

Contact Cisco TAC and get the appliance RMA-ed. The flash is dead.
