disaster recovery for 5500 rsm ios stuck in rommon

[clumsymonkey]

I have a 'deleted' IOS that will not boot-up my RSM on my catalyst 5500. I don't have a flash card to boot from. I have a TFTP and it's possible to do a network boot, but I don't know how from rommon. There is no xmodem utility. Is there any way to recover the IOS or do a network boot?????? I'm limited with the commands below:

rommon 9 > dir bootflash:
File size Checksum File name
6657404 bytes (0x65957c) 0x18786edd c5rsm-isv-mz.120-25.bin (deleted)
rommon 10 > ?
alias set and display aliases command
boot boot up an external process
break set/show/clear the breakpoint
confreg configuration register utility
cont continue executing a downloaded image
context display the context of a loaded image
dev list the device table
dir list files in file system
dis disassemble instruction stream
dnld serial download a program module
frame print out a selected stack frame
help monitor builtin command help
history monitor command history
meminfo main memory information
repeat repeat a monitor command
reset system reset
set display the monitor variables
stack produce a stack trace
sync write monitor environment to NVRAM
sysret print out info from last system return
unalias unset an alias

This may be the only way to recover this if you don't have a spare flash card . If this doesn't work you are going to have to look for a card somewhere .

Yeah, I saw that already. That cannot work as the boot helper image is corrupt. It looks like I need a flash card!
