Hi there,

Copy the IOS bin file to a USB flash drive and from ROMMON boot off it:

boot usbflash0:<ios_filename.bin>

Once IOS is loaded up, TFTP/FTP the image back onto flash.

cheers,

Seb.

Use the Emergency Recovery proceedure and don't forget to "expand" the firmware when the switch boots up.

here the day to day steps : ( adding to other posts)

1. Copy your ios to the usb (USB format should be FAT32)
2.If you use USB slot0 then usb boot is
3.switch: boot usbflash0:/image-ios.bin
Once it booted and working / confirmation.
4. Copy the image from USB to Flash
copy usbflash0:/image-ios.bin flash:
5. Set Boot variable
BB(config)# boot system flash:/image-ios.bin
Verify image has been set properly in flash with "show boot".
Save by typing "write" and reload
