Notice the "read only" on the flash... On the router with 2 partitions you
will probably see one as read/write and one as read only. The 2500 runs from
flash, hence you have to boot from TFTP to keep the flash clear. After you
boot from TFTP you will be able to repartition and manipulate the flash
however you want. So boot from TFTP, erase the second flash partition, do a
partition flash 1 16. Reboot and you should have 1 16 meg flash partition.

You must not have tried this then... I have a hundred or so 4000, 4500,
4700, & 2500 routers running in the IRS network (from DC to Ogden Utah)
running either (2) 4 Megs or (2) 8 Megs.- all reading as one partition. I
assure you, it works & I can hear the fans running in my 2511 with (2) 8
Megs sticks, loaded with 12.1(3)T.
