The boot ROM's are free from Cisco except for the cost of shipping. The part number is "WS-X5530-BOOT=". You need to call customer service at Cisco to get this. If you call the TAC they'll want a Smartnet contract covering the item in question. I don't have the customer service number in front of me. Search the Cisco site for the number.
