I' ve a 6509 with a SUP1A-2GE.
I see these messages after I power cycle the switch and I know that the Catalyst 6500 is
in the SP ROMmon:
System Bootstrap, Version 5.3(1)
Copyright (c) 1994-1999 by cisco Systems, Inc.
c6k_sup1 processor with 65536 Kbytes of main memory.
rommon 1 >
Ther is no Catos image under bootflash.
I Try to download a Cisco Catos image with xmodem -s 38400 command and th Download complete it. The problem is when start the "Self decompressing the image":##########.It doesn't complete this procedure and, after some seconds, the switch goes in rommon state with a PC forced crash.
What ca I do ?

You might want to verify the image you have loaded is correct . Make sure its a Sup 1 image and not a sup2 . Where is loaded if there is no image under bootflash? Is this catos ?

the image is correct.
The catalyst is a Catos converted to Ios and It has a PFC and an MSFC2 on board.
Ios is c6sup12-psv-mz.121-27b.E1.bin and is loaded into slot0:.
This is the messagge:

It seems you missed some steps on the Software conversion.
Please follow this document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_tech_note09186a008015bfa6.shtml
You need to clear the BOOT statement in rommon and once booted into IOS, you need to change your bootvar to slot0:
