When I boot the 2600 router i receive the message below:

It appears that you do not have a valid IOS image on the flash.

Here is a URL that demonstrates how to TFTP an image to a 2600. I have used this and it works very well.

Here is a URL describing boot problems and how to resolve them.

Here is some additional information about how to check flash from ROMMON mode to see what, if any, image is on the flash and boot from that image.
