Erase of bootflash: 2948G-L3

[dan.christensen]

Hello all

I have done somthing very stupid!! I got the idea to clean up all old configs and start over again.

I found documentations how to clear bootflash, and didnt know that it was removing the boot image.

Now i get the output:

device does not contain a valid magic number

boot: cannot open "bootflash:"

boot: cannot determine first file name on device "bootflash:"

I'm trying to use xmodem -y -s 57600:

Do not start sending the image yet...

Invoke this application for disaster recovery.

Do you wish to continue? y/n [n]: y

Note, if the console port is attached to a modem, both the

console port and the modem must be operating at the same baud

rate. Use console speed 57600 bps for download [confirm]

Download will be performed at 57600. Make sure your terminal

emulator is set to this speed before sending file.

Ready to receive file ...

xxxxxxxxxx................lots of funny chars................

- Then its stops! What can i do ??

If there is a mismatch in the terminal emulator Speed and the speed configured on the console port, it will result in junk characters
