8600 lost flash !!

[mucca]

Help Guys , whilst downgrading from 4.1 to 3.7 I somehow finished up with no flash available and hence no boot , on boot up the command line sugests trying to "format flash" so this i did from boot minitor .But now I have no flash available & just /pcmcia.
Is there any way to get back the flash ?

Thanks in anticipation.

what kind of 86XXSF are you using?

The flash system was changed in v4 to format to a larger file system.

copy the v3.7 runtime and boot images onto the pcmcia.
point the boot.cfg at the pcmcia image.
boot off the boot image to re-write the proms.

The switch should come up running v3.7
Format the flash
copy all files back onto the flash
reboot

hopefully it should work.
