I did the same thing and you can tftp an ios image or
do an xmodem transfer of the image from the > prompt.
The transfer will erase and overwrite the image that
is too big and you should be able to get back to

the set command from the > prompt to give the
interface an address, a default gateway, tftp server
address and image file name.
