I manage to do the same thing to a mega16 some time ago. I've been told that 
if you mess up  the osc fuse bits bad enough the only way to recover is with 
parallel/high voltage programming mode.  However, I wasn't able to recover 
the mega16 that way either, and since I had a spare I put it aside and 
haven't tried it again.
