I believe that for those running IOS 12.4(11)T1 and later it is no longer necessary to drop to ROMMON to upgrade and that the upgrade rom-monitor file command is now supported. I have confirmed this in an 877 running 12.4(15)T3.


CSCsg59037: 85x/87x cannot upgrade rommon from IOS

Symptom : Cisco 851 and 871 routers have no way to remotely upgrade the ROMMON firmware image.

Conditions : Cisco IOS versions for the Cisco 851 and 871 routers did not provide a mechanism to remotely upgrade the ROMMON firmware image.

Workaround : Cisco IOS Release 12.4(11)T1 for the Cisco 851 and 871 router introduces the command upgrade rom-monitor file which allows the ROMMON firmware image to be remotely upgraded. See this link for more information:

Yep....I can confirm that you can now upgrade it like the 18xx series.

EX:
Router#upgrade rom-monitor file tftp://10.1.2.3/DIR/File

Also, I have to say, every thing seems faster and IPS seems to function through SDM now with the latest Rommon/IOS and SDM updates.

Well, I just upgraded my 871W with the upgrade rom-monitor command it worked wonderfully. The upgrade most likely didn't do anything for me since it's DSL-oriented, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to have the latest & greatest.
