I have tried this procedure, with the exception of using ftp. Instead I used the download command on the router to download the image from my tftp server to the router. then i copy_boot (xxx.bin) then write memory and finally in config terminal i say boot T1000.Z it boots without the CHKSUM errors but then i get a System Vailidation Error, Buffer mgmt Error loading # of modules and then it shows NO WAN PORTS AVALIBLE. So if i try to configure a T1 bundle it doesnt detect any of the T1 interfaces. Any other suggestions?

I saw this procedure on the Nortel site. Hope it helps.
This procedure will let you boot off of a TFTP server that has the image code on it. Once you boot off the TFTP server, you can ftp the code to the router, change the settings back in step 4 below.
Then you'll be able to boot off the router.
Plug you PC directly into the router using a straight through cable. Start your TFTP server that has a copy of the code on it.
"1. Connect your terminal to the console port (9600/8/None - No flow control)
"2. Power cycle the unit. Continuously pressing the Enter key until you see the following prompt:
[Boot Prompt]
"3. At the [Boot Prompt] type "c" and press Enter
"4. You will be prompted to fill in the following fields, bold typeface is what you will enter:
( before you change them take a screen capture or write down the current setting you need them to set the router back to booting up from the router)
boot device: lnPci (this is a lower case "L", not a one)
processor number: 0
host name: host
file name: "The path and filename on your tftp server (ie. tftpboot/T1000.Z)"
inet on ethernet (e): x.x.x.x:ffffff00 (this is the Ethernet 0's address:netmask)
inet on backplane (b): Not needed
host inet (h): x.x.x.x (The ip address of the tftp server)
gateway inet (g): x.x.x.x (your router's address, not necessary in the same subnet)
user (u): wind (this is a required field)
ftp password (pw) (blank = use rsh): wind (this is a required field)
flags (f): 0x8a
target (tn): Tasman
startup script (s): Not needed
other (o): lnPci (this is a lower case "L", not a one)
"5. Here you are back at the [Boot Prompt]. Type @ and press Enter. This will boot the unit up from the network
"6. Once the router is up, login and enable FTP:
config t
ftp_s, ftp_u test
password test
password test
exit.
This will create a FTP server on the router with a user ID of test and password of test.
7. FTP the image to the router from the PC that has the image on it. Boot the router and hit enter until you get the [Boot Prompt]
8 At the [Boot Prompt] type "c" and press Enter and enter the original settings from step 4 above.
