How to boot Extreme x670-48x into backup BootRom?

Hello, I have an Extreme x670-48x switch that refuses to boot.
Outputs to the console:

Extreme Networks


Alternate BootStrap Image
Starting CRC of Default image


************************************************
* WARNING: Default BootLoader image is corrupt *
* Default BootLoader needs to be reinstalled   *

Does not respond to key presses.
In the BlackDiamond line on the MSM, there is a microswitch, holding which the switch boots from the backup BootROM. I did not find anything like that on the same switch (I took it apart).
Although studying the flash memory dump (made earlier in the linux shell using dd), it is clearly visible that two copies of BootROM are written to it.
Is it possible with a key/jumper combination on the board to force the switch to boot into a backup BootROM?

if you have access to the console
You can view the software on the switch by issuing the show switch command. To select a boot partition
(for example, to download new software to the secondary partition
), you need to run the command: use image secondary ways if there are questions about extreme sports, then my skype is johnsn123

I know how to update software from BootROM, the problem is that it is broken and there is no access to the console. The same Concepts Guide describes how to load a BD from a backup BootROM, but for younger models this is not possible, although, as I already wrote, in the flash dump, which I made earlier from debug-mode, there are two copies of BootROM. I just hoped that there might be some kind of jumper to load a backup boot.
Z.Y. no one knows where to get the description of the processor? It is defined like this:

/exos/bin # cat /proc/cpuinfo
system type             : RMI XLS Unknown A1
processor               : 0

BogoMIPS                : 658.63

microsecond timers      : yes
tlb_entries             : 64

There are thoughts to try to dig deeper through JTAG.
