In trying to isolate a problem, I wanted to reinstall the software on my lab OP11C from PCMCIA. I went in the flashboot utilities menu and I did something I guest I shouldnt have done... Now here's what I get when I boot the switch:


Meridian Small System Controller
Pre-Boot: 03 dev2.37
Flash Boot: NTDK34AA_r07 dev2.40
Reset Reason: C0, 0 - Reset due to Power Up
SRAM: 128 kBytes
DRAM: 16 MBytes, speed=60 ns
Security ID: XXXXXXXX type: NT_STD
Backup Flash: 1572 kBytes
No Program Store Flash installed.
Program Store: 0 MBytes
No Flash Drive installed.
Flash Drive: 0 MBytes
Expansion board #1 not installed.
Expansion board #2 not installed.
Ethernet MAC address: 00.00.75.45.10.24
PCMCIA card installed in drive A.
PCMCIA card not installed in drive B.

*** To invoke install setup program from PCMCIA enter CONTROL-I ***

Executing power up self tests
Power up self test passed
Flash daughter board not installed. OS will not run.


It won't take a "CONTROL-I" so I can't do anything now...

Is there a way to re-install the flashboot or can it only be done by Nortel?

Thanks.
 
You don´t have the daughterboar card installed in the SSC card ???
 
Yes I do, it's not the card that is missing but the flashboot on it....
 
Your system needs to be "FBUG'd". This will clear the flash issues. Similar to PDT, the FBUG commands are proprietary and I cannot post them here.

Your Nortel distributor should be able to help you out recovering this system.
