[c-nsp] boot images for 72xx to fix in 4M flash

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

c7200-boot-mz.120-24.S6.bin fits in 4MB also:

#sh bootflash:
-#- ED ----type---- --crc--- -seek--
nlen -length- ---------date/time--------- name
1   .. image        B2648E8B  37E1A4   27  3399972 Sep 8 2005
15:31:29 -07:00 c7200-boot-mz.120-24.S6.bin

7772 bytes available (3400100 bytes used)

Is there any reason to use 12.0.23 S6 instead of 12.0.24 S6?

Ted
