If the flash has been deleted / formated and there is no IOS on the switch or router, you have to copy the new IOS via the console port. this article explains the procedure loading the IOS immage c2600-is-mz.122-15.ZJ2.bin on a cisco26xx router using teraterm

rommon 1 > xmodem -c c2600-is-mz.122-15.ZJ2.bin
Do not start the sending program yet...
