I have upgraded my master stack and wrestled with it to make all boot
the new IOS however... I eventually erased the current IOS from all
and was trying to copy the new across and reload.. and I suddenly get
the bootloader prompt - switch:

My dir shows my new IOS with a filesize of 0.. the question is, is
wheres the tftp server??

How do I get my IOS back on this thing!?

see if you rswitch supports tftp from ROMMON mode - tftpdnld
