cisco 5150 newbie question

[mec277]

when trying to boot my firewall i get the following error

panic: kernel - The checksum verification for this image failed.

i have a text file of the pixs configuration but it is not a image or bin file. how can i get a valid image file so that i can reconfigure the firewall.

cisco will not give me an image file to load via tftp.

help

not for free they won't...

You'll probobaly have to find somewhere to buy it from.

I don't know off the top of my head if there are any other vendors that just sell Cisco IOS legally.
