copy ios from tftp server to 2950 with no file in flash 1

[paulux]

SO...I screwed up and deleted the flash on my 2950. I uploaded the bin file from another 2950 to my tftp server, but how do I copy this file from the tftp to the 2950 with the deleted flash? I can't believe how much time I have wasted trying to figure this out!

The following is the prompt I'm getting on the 2950 with the deleted flash:

switch: ?
? -- Present list of available commands
boot -- Load and boot an executable image
cat -- Concatenate (type) file(s)
copy -- Copy a file
delete -- Delete file(s)
dir -- List files in directories
flash_init -- Initialize flash filesystem(s)
format -- Format a filesystem
fsck -- Check filesystem consistency
help -- Present list of available commands
load_helper -- Load and initialize a helper image
memory -- Present memory heap utilization information
mkdir -- Create dir(s)
more -- Concatenate (display) file(s)
rename -- Rename a file
reset -- Reset the system
rmdir -- Delete empty dir(s)
set -- Set or display environment variables
set_param -- Set system parameters in flash
trap -- Cause a software breakpoint to occur
type -- Concatenate (type) file(s)
-- MORE --
unset -- Unset one or more environment variables
version -- Display boot loader version

How do I proceed? Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks vipergg...that solved it! What a convoluted process that was. Oh well, you learn something new every day. A star for you!

A new problem relating to this issue: I copied the file over via xmodem at speed of 115200, now when I connect via the console cable, it will only accept a speed of 11520. I do this, then go in and change the line con 0 speed to 9600 baud, it changes, but the speed keeps defaulting back to 115200. I do a copy run start after changing to 9600, but it keeps reverting. What am I doing wrong here? This is making me nuts!

Nevermind...of course I would find the answer after posting the question here. In case anyone was wondering, the baud rate is stored in flash:env_vars. The more I learn, the less I seem to know.

The spped is governed by the config register setting, setting it back to 0x2102 should set it at 9600 .
