I have an ASA5515 that was continually booting. I escaped and I'm in ROMMON now. I think there is an older image on the ASA that I could possibly boot but I'm not sure. Is there a way to show directory of files on the ASA when in ROMMON?

dir command is not available in rommon on asa. I am not sure if there is an equivalent but you could download an image via tftp and boot it.
Configure network settings and set image filename
rommon #1> interface gigabitethernet0/0
rommon #2> address 10.1.1.1
rommon #3> server 10.1.1.2
rommon #4> gateway 10.1.1.254
rommon #5> file asa961-smp-k8.bin
Verify settings using set command
rommon #6> set
ROMMON Variable Settings:
ADDRESS=10.1.1.1
SERVER=10.1.1.2
GATEWAY=10.1.1.254
PORT=GigabitEthernet0/0
VLAN=untagged
IMAGE=asa961-smp-k8.bin
CONFIG=
LINKTIMEOUT=20
PKTTIMEOUT=4
RETRY=20
Save configuration to nvram
rommon #8> sync
Start tftp download of image(asa will automatically reboot after downloading the image)
rommon #9> tftpdnld
Keep in mind that this procedure will not download the image to your flash, you still have to download it from asa priviliged exec mode again so you can boot from it!
Let me know if you have any questions
