xmodem to recover 6500 issues

[paarlberg]

I am trying to convert a 6509 from mixed to IOS native mode and I screwed up. Now it only boots to rommon>. The bootflash is empty and I don't have a flash card (they are on order) above 20MB to handle the image which is 26MB.

I am trying to transfer via xmodem and it is not working. I have the console port set to 38400 as the default speed.

Whenever I try to transfer based on the recovery procedure on Cisco's site, I get either no response message(within hyper-terminal). See attached screen shot. You can see some of the previous console messages as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

This is what the boot looks like, maybe this will help.
