I'm trying to install ios into my cisco 2821 which boots in rommon. Apparently the ios is corrupted, I have set the IP_ADDRESS, IP_SUBNET_MASK, DEFAULT_GATEWAY, TFTP_SERVER, TFTP_FILE but anytime I issue the 'tftpdnld' and confirm to continue, the process will time out give this error message
" ...........
ARP: address resolution for 10.203.8.49 timed out.
ARP failed with failure code 1. TFTP transfer aborted.
TFTP: Operation terminated prematurely. "
What may have gone wrong. Please help me out.

Why don't you try to eject the CF and copy the IOS into the CF using a card reader?

Many cisco devices have a restriction that tftpdnld will only work on the first LAN port:

"This document explains how to download a software image to a Cisco 2600/2800/3800 Series Router using Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) over the first LAN port using the ROMmon tftpdnld command."
