Hi,
I need ana asistance.

I was doing an upgrading on cisco 7609 IOS to the one with PDSN feature. I got that IOS after going on cisco website on IOS advisory and i manage to download it. Before i perform the upgrade i backup the existing IOS to my tftp server.

Unfortunately after try to boot with the new IOS the router ends up on ROM mode with an error message below;

I tried google it with no helpful results so far..........

Strange again;
 after am on rommon mode, i could not being able to load the new IOS using tftp modem as i got this;though i was able to set IP_ADDRESS,TFTP_SERVER etc. and able to see them when type "set" 
rommon 4 > tftpdnld
monitor: command "tftpdnld" not found

Alternatively i use xmodem to upload again the IOS by thought may be the first IOS was corupt or .....
rommon 16 > dir  bootdisk:  boot flash

20223    26843548  -rw-     sea_log.dat

Still i couldn't boot got the same message;
