[c-nsp] Bootstrapping issue on sup720/6504

[Hyunseog Ryu]

Flash card needs to be formatted under same router platform in order to 
be seen by the router during boot procedure.
Flash card formatted under other platform may be o.k. to be read/write 
during normail operation, but it won't be recognized by the router 
during boot procedure.
