[nsp] flash curropted on the pix

[Brant Stevens]

Try booting off a floppy with the old boothelper image, then once that's
loaded, boot the correct image from a local machine.  Reference the below
URL for more help, but use the boothelper for 5.0 code.

Good luck, and HTH,
-Brant.

Wajahat,

At what point during the boot process does the machine reboot.

Have you tried to interrupt the boot process, and reinstall the old image?
