Here's what I get:

Boot Sector Filesystem (bs:) installed, fsid: 3

The system is unable to boot automatically because there
are no bootable files to boot.

switch:

What does this mean?

I'd take a wild guess and say there's either no IOS on the switch, or the IOS that is there is corrupt to the point that you can't boot from it.

I'd say no IOS -- and time for XMODEM

Bill Kaster

You are indeed correct Mike. I performed an xmodem and everything is good to go now. Hooray!
