Just have great fun on a layer2 3560 thanks to Cisco and Stardust!
So I just received a 3560 from Cisco as a replacement for an RMA. I updated the IOS, and after a reboot, was welcome to a funky looking prompt, and a "Welcome to Stardust!" banner. I thought this ws an old config, so I rebooted to do password recovery, renamed the config.text and booted. No joy, same prompt and banner. So now I'm looking at the flash and I see a IOS named C3560-dom-mz12.2.25r.SEB. I figure to rename it to n0-C3560xxx.SEB, just to see if that is the issue, WELL, I inadvertently rename the directory that contained the new IOS. Somehow the directory name was corrupted and I had to do an FSCK on the flash, which renamed the directory to 'lost+found' with a sub-directory 00464. Then I had to rename the .SEB file to some other extension, I know I could have just deleted it altogether. I finally get it booted to the new IOS, and cleaned up the flash drive. Lots of fun with Cisco.
Some things I learned: C3560-dom-mz12.2.25r.SEB is some type of diagnostic IOS used by Cisco
If you can't remane or boot from a file you can see in flash try FSCK
