Hi Ali,

The other way that you can use instead of TFTP to bootflash is to copy the IOS to the PCMCIA card and then boot the Sup from the PCMCIA card ( boot system flash slot:filename.bin ) and then copy the IOS to the sup bootflash or copy the IOS to the bootflash and then boot it from there.

Why do you want to remove PCMCIA from there. I would recommend you to keep the IOS on the PCMCIA card and have it in the switch.

The following link might be handy :
