[c-nsp] catalyst 6509 bootloader

[Alban Dani]

Asbjorn,

thanks for the input.
The "show ver" command gives me : ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.1(11r)E1,
RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

but "sh rom-monitor slot 2 rp" gives:

Region F1: INVALID
Region F2: INVALID
Currently running ROMMON from S (Gold) region

Is this a problem?

Thanks,

Alban
