I'm fairly new to networking but we were trying to load new ios code on 2924 when it hung up. Here is what I am getting.

C2900XL Boot Loader (C2900-HBOOT-M) Version 11.2(8)SA4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Compiled Mon 23-Nov-98 20:59 by paulines

Interrupt within 5 seconds to abort boot process.

The system is unable to boot automatically. The BOOT

environment variable needs to be set to a bootable

image.

switch:

My question is how do I break in to get to a prompt?
