Hi,
I have some suggestions,
I can see that the boot var is not pointed to the correct file (normally
file name should not has [1]), after you configure "boot system flash"
already you have to write mem, and check the "boot var" before reload.
5 drwx 128 Mar 01 1993 00:17:34 c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-13.EA1a
It is directory, therefore the correct path should be
"boot sytem
flash:/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-13.EA1a/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-13.EA1a.bin"

Hi,
Jose is correct, use the .tar archive and upload via tftp (make sure it
fits into flash though) - can't go wrong really :-).
Have a look at the below URL, that explains it all.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps646/products_configuration
_example09186a0080169623.shtml
To replace the whole filesystem use the below command,
archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://tftp_server_ip/file_name
The /overwrite will effectivly replace the existing structure.

problem Any help would be much appreciated.
