[c-nsp] 1720 and rommon

[Jared Mauch]

	A 7200 can boot from an ATA flash "disk"

	Go to your local electronics place and get a 64m CF card
and a CF <-> PCMCIA adaptor, stick it in your laptop, etc.. and copy
the image to it, then go over to the router and stick it in and you
should be able to do this from rommon:

rommon 1 > boot disk0:c7200-p-mz.image-name.bin
