Nexus 5548 stuck in loader>

The Nexus 5548 switch when reloaded prompts

loader>

I read a little on it and first step was to extract kickstart using TFTP.

I used my workstation to configure tftp server.

But i cannot ping the mgmt ip of Nexus from the workstation.

My workstation is win7.

Is there a way to bypass using TFTP.

Plugging in usb also does not help, as Nexus does not see it in loader prompt.

 

Note:-bootflash has nothing its clean.

Also can anyone give me axamples of boot tftp://............., commands examples, not the format but real examples.

What if my kickstart image is in C:\>, what command i use

boot tftp://10.1.1.12/n5000.bin    ??

or, what is the correct format, i dont have to specify path inside my pc?

will tftp running in my computer automatically searches the whole pc for that file?

confused...

Any help appreciated

I currently have this exact issue....no ping after configuring the mgmt0 from the loader prompt.  I haven't tried tftp yet and am guessing that ping doesn't work but tftp will?  Any information on this?
