This isn't true.

For 12.0.30S1, at least:

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   3746244 Mar 17  2005 c7200-boot-mz.120-30.S1.bin
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   4957888 Mar 17  2005 c7200-kboot-mz.120-30.S1.bin

I was actually going to post today, asking what the difference is between 
boot and kboot was.

This actually makes no sense, because CCO days there is no kboot for the 
7200:

 	http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps341/prod_troubleshooting_guide09186a008014cf91.html

 	... "The c7200-kboot-mz image is not supported in Cisco IOS 
Release 12.0 S, but is supported in other Cisco IOS releases, such as E 
and T. This document is intended to give the reader an indication of which 
port adapters are supported in the standard 12.0 S boot image."

So, the question remains; for a 7206VXR/NPE-400, which do you use? How 
about for a NPE-300?
