Unfortunately choosing an IOS is far from simple.

Stick with c7200-boot-mz.120-24.S.bin - it's the newest that fits in the
bootflash (156 bytes free) but make sure you have somewhere else to write
crashinfo (and remember to configure this).

You have a similar but opposite problem when using NPE-400/NPE-G1 with 12.0S
where you have to use a kboot image, which first starts at 12.1.
