Restarting Switch with Missing OS

[jkimbell]

I accidentally restarted a 6506 (switch only) that had an entry in the config calling an image which had been deleted. Consequently, the switch won't boot enough to let me in to delete the reference from the config. I am sure there is a way around this; ideas? Thanks

If you are booting from a flash card use slot0: instead of bootflash:

If you do not have a valid image, the following page should help you in recovering the Sup
