[c-nsp] pix 515 now a boat anchor?

[Charles Tompkins]

I have a used PIX 515 at remote location that is experiencing trouble.  Over
a VNC-to-console-session, the PIX was upgraded from 6.1 to 6.3 to 7.0(4) via
TFTP, but was never written to memory.  It was late and we decided to call
it a night and finish it in the morning.  However, the tech at the remote
location unplugged the PIX thinking that all was fine and dandy with the
installation...  Now, the PIX is stuck in endless reboot, but can be broken
in to ROM monitor mode.  The TFTP functionality still "works," but it will
not install _any_ version of the PIX OS, it just hangs and when broken .  Is
there anyway to remedy this situation?  I thought of getting a blank stick
of RAM for it and starting from scratch.  Is there a better way?
Thanks ahead of time.
