At this point you have to do a Xmodem file transfer. SA1 is the bootloader
on ALL 2900XL switches that is switch:
TFTP option is NOT available at switch: to do a xmodem transfer do the
following
type flash_init
load_helper
copy xmodem:filename.bin flash:filename.bin
then type
set BOOT flash:filename.bin
reset
you might want to do a format flash: command before you do the upload
this upload will take about 32 minutes :-)
Once you can boot to the IOS prompt. you may want to do the TFTP upgrade
with the .tar file (which contains the html files for the CVSM). If not,
you are done
