[rescue] Need help with Cisco 3620

[Eric Webb]

Oooh, there's hope yet.  I don't have any Cisco cables or hoods, so I played 
around with a hood I had and a straight-through cable and noticed a repeating 
pattern of noise on my terminal.  Tried several settings, but it seems that 
for some reason this guy is set to 2400-N81.  I played with the "DUART_RST" 
jumper and that may have had something to do with it as well.

In any case, I now see the thing booting.  Looks like it has 32MB of memory. 
Bootstrap is 11.1(19)AA, Early Deployment Release Software (fc1).  

It keeps recycling saying that it "cannot determine first file name on device 
flash:".  Then it dumps into a ROM monitor.  

I take it this means that the flash card just needs to be loaded, right?  
Sadly, I have no PCMCIA cards nor IOS images.  What size card do I need and 
where can I get an image (yeah, I know, there's absolutely nothing legal 
about receiving an IOS image, and I understand that they're 
non-transferrable, too.)
