Can you post the output from "dir flash:" command in order to see if the switch has a bootable image ?

It looks like there is no IOS in Flash. You'll have to get an IOS image and transfer it to switch by means of Xmodem procedure.

Do a dir flash to see if there is a bootable image in flash. Take a note of its file name.
Then do a boot bootflash:filename. This should load the system from the bootable image in flash.
From there, go into conf t and add boot system flash filename.
Come out of config, copy run start, then reload.
