install IOS 1

[nix45]

I have a Cisco 3500XL switch that is booting from the boot strap, since the regular IOS was deleted. Normally, I can TFTP a new image with the 'copy' command in enable mode, but there isn't an 'enable' command that I can go into. I get permission denied on a lot of commands, like 'dir flash'. How do I copy a new TFTP image to the switch?

Thanks,
Chris

especially the item about recovering from corrupted software.
