Cisco 2600 wont boot

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps259/products_tech_note09186a0080094a0b.shtml

You need to change the Config reg on your router.  Please follow the instructions on that site and you should be good to go!


Cheers,

Ok, I messed it up more, prior to seeing your tip, although I'm not sure it would work because I think I tried that.  No it just gives me jiberish.  Can't even get to rommon.  How can I get to the rommon again?

You may have changed the baud rate on the console port.  Try changing the baud rate in your Hyperterminal session to other speeds until you stop getting jiberish.

I did in fact change the baud rate, I'm back at rommon.
The steps that Lilshooter listed didn't work, I had tried that already, setting the boot to 2.

I need more help with this.  Thanks so much!  I'll put the whole output on here...

Well, indeed I did delete the IOS, had to get a version from a shop in town.  All set now.  I also setup a tftp server and copied my config and IOS onto it so I can fix it next time.  You learn so much when you destroy something!!  LOL, thanks for the help.
