I think i will need to buy bootrom, else it doesnt recognise 32MB flash? Sounds rubblish,
Cisco 2600 Series Boot Rom MEM2620-32FSBOOT
Enable your Cisco 2620 and 2621 to recongize 32MB of Flash memory capacity
Part Number: MEM2620-32FSBOOT
Bootrom version 12.1(3r)T2
Currently im running -
System Bootstrap, Version 11.3(2)XA4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Copyright (c) 1999 by cisco Systems, Inc.

Hi Sylvester,
This is one of the biggest pain to a 2600 router. You can't upgrade the bootstrap easily and require additional purchase and downtime. This was identified and starting from the 2691 onwards (3725/3745) you can now upgrade the bootstrap using software.
