When it is in this state you can recover it without using a nullmodem cable, by setting up a PC for network booting. The dreambox will try to get an address using DHCP, then receive an image with TFTP, and mount the filesystem with NFS.
When you have that all working it is possible to boot the image from the network and flash it into the dreambox. I did it too when I had this problem. I have no Windows machine so I cannot run "DreamUpLan" or whatever is the Windows solution to fix this. It worked, I recovered the box.
But when you do have a Windows PC the cable is probably a simpler solution.
