cat 6509 rommon recovery

The SUP2 Card failed an upgrade from CatOS to IOS. it now only boots up in rommon. Have followed all the relevent documentaion on Cisco web page but cannot recovery the box. Any xmodem downloads that i have performed does not work.

here is a few commands from the sup2

rommon 5 > set

CONFIG_FILE=

SLOTCACHE=cards;

RET_2_RTS=12:19:04 UTC Tue Oct 19 2004

BOOT=

BOOTLDR=

rommon 6 >

rommon 9 > dir bootflash:

File size Checksum File name

Looks like you are in the RP rommon. Can you reset the switch and get into the SP rommon and see if you still have the CAT OS file in SP bootflash. If you have a flash card with a CAT OS file, you can use it as well.

If you do, boot from it and "switch console" into the MSFC2. Here try to XMODEM the bootldr image
