internal flash volume appears to have failed which i'm assuming cannot be fixed but if you have a suggestion there I'd like to hear it. I've moved on to trying usb flash disk for boot which works fine when commands are issued manually from rommon but if the router loses power or is reloaded, boot file listed in the config is not found and it drops back to rommon. rommon takes a couple dir commands to get it to display the usbflash0: contents and it also doesn't see the device until the dir commands are issued which might be related. 8GB pny usb disk partitioned down to multiple partitions with the first being 256MB FAT16 using BootICE in windows. Any ideas?
