If you can't flash through the webif, the only other alternative is to use DreamUp. That said... You can delete the contents of /boot then the box absolutely has to boot into the webflashing interface or do absolutely nothing as it can no longer boot into the normal image., at that point DreamUp would still be required. 
To remove the contents of /boot, in telnet enter the commands:
mount /dev/mtdblock2 -t jffs2 /boot
rm /boot/*
Again, once the rm /boot/* command has been given, the box will be useless until reflashed. If the box is running now, you may want to verify you have the Null-Modem cable handy to use w/ DreamUp before proceeding, in case anything goes screwy.
Good luck,
