Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no
In particular it is saying boot: cannot determine first executable file name ondevice "flash:"
And then after booting the image

We have tried multiple times to reflash the unit using both rommon and format flash:/ upgrade automatic getversion tftp after boot.
We have also done a write erase and reloaded config. All without luck
I am starting suspect we have a fault flash card. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks In advance

That is nothing.
I can see the router booting up to the prompt. I don't see any problems.
