I'm trying to determine the meaning of the error, "Wrong IOS image on IPBASE Router". Surprisingly, Google seemed to turn up nothing at all on the subject. I recently purchased a Cisco 866VAE. It came without an operating system so I'm trying to put c860vae-advsecurityk9-mz.153-3.M.bin on it. I booted into rommon and installed the image via tftp. When I go to boot the router endlessly cycles through the following output:
Booting flash:/c860vae-advsecurityk9-mz.153-3.M.bin
boot: Launch entrypt: 0x80800000
Self decompressing the image :
Wrong IOS image on IPBASE Router
System reload in 5 seconds
Is that to say that the router itself can only support the IPBase OS?

Edit: Also attempted installation of c860-universalk9-mz.153-3.M.bin. Same problem encountered.

This IOS is incompatible because the filename is incorrect. 866VAE IOS should be "c860vae" and not just plain "c860".

Same problem encountered despite naming convention. I also tried installing:
c860vae-advsecurityk9_npe-mz.153-1.T.bin
Same boot output:

I haven't looked into this avenue yet, but is it possible even though an IOS is recommended that the device may have insufficient memory?

I'll probably look into this tomorrow, but I saw the above article and was wondering if that was a feasible problem.
