Hi Marty
If the image loads manually, it looks like NVRAM (where startup is stored) is busted. Do you have the show ver output after you manually load the image and config? Have you tried write erase followed by copy runn start ? If yes, what was the outcome?
The non-R version went end of life in 2005.

Trying to make this work will likely expose you to way too many security vulnerabilities.
I am very sorry for not being of much assist.
Kind regards ... Palani
