The way I have worked around that problem is linear flash in slot 0,
ata flash in slot 1, and the following:

ar01#dir slot0:
Directory of slot0:/

    1  -rw-     7246548  Oct 25 2004 18:27:53 +00:00  c7200-kboot-mz.123-8.T4.bin

ar01#dir disk1:
Directory of disk1:/

    1  -rw-    22416948  Oct 25 2004 11:51:32 +00:00  c7200-js-mz.123-8.T4.bin

256495616 bytes total (234078208 bytes free)
ar01#sho run | inc boot
boot-start-marker
boot system flash disk1:c7200-js-mz.123-8.T4.bin
boot bootldr slot0:c7200-kboot-mz.123-8.T4.bin
boot-end-marker
ar01#

Note that I'm not using the io controller bootflash at all.  This is
with an NPE300.  Also works on an NPE200 in the lab.  Dunno about the
225.
