Boot image is corrupted PSOD

Hello,

To log into ESXi4 using SSH pubkey, I made ssh.tgz on ESXi tar command and add an option to boot.cfg, seeing http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/3033-277922-1578635-41364/how_to_vmware_e... .

When done with that and reboot, Boot image is corrupted PSOD occured.

How can I fix or undo without reinstalling ESXi?

if you get a PSOD during boot you can not use the console

hopefully you created a backup of the boot.cfg and ssh.tgz ?
boot the host into a Linux-liveCD and restore the backup then

Thank you very much.

Are there any other way that is done within the ESXi's function(eg console)?
