[c-nsp] %SYS-4-CONFIG_NEWER: Configuration from version 12.3 may not be correctly understood

[elliot moore]

Hello list, sorry I tried to search for this, but got an 404 error from 
http://puck.nether.net/cgi-bin/htsearch

My question:
I have taken ownership of a 7204VXR NPE400

But at boot I get the message:
%SYS-4-CONFIG_NEWER: Configuration from version 12.3 may not be 
correctly understood
%SYS-6-BOOT_MESSAGES: Messages above this line are from the boot loader.

The config is empty/reset/defaults
My IOS IS 12.3 - is this conflicting with the Bootstrap?
Should this be happening, this does not look correct, is it safe to 
proceed?

e.
