Greg... your assumption is correct. If you only have 8MB of RAM, you
are limited to 3.2 code (and it is a special 8MB version). The note
discussing this is here:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat5000/c5krn/sw_r
ns/78_6024.htm#xtocid264364
For releases 3.2(3) and later, you must have at least 16-MB DRAM
installed on your supervisor engine.
For releases 3.1(1) through 3.2(2), we recommend you have a minimum
of 16-MB dynamic RAM (DRAM) installed on your supervisor engine.
Supervisor Engine I modules with 8-MB DRAM do support these releases;
however, you must use the 8-MB version of the software image (see
Table 3) and you must run a minimal configuration. For more
information, see the "Usage Guidelines, Restrictions, and
Troubleshooting" section.
So at this point your recovery options are limited, if you have a
service contract, the easiest thing to bail you out if to call TAC and
RMA (I'm not kidding. Sup 3's are much easier to recover from this
type of situation... I's and II's are trickier :-). Here is some
guidance on recovery: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/26.html
