[c-nsp] 7500 Boot Image

[Joe Maimon]

To expand on Rodney's answer.

The only reason to upgrade the boot image in the flash is if you suspect 
it will help you boot better.

Since normally, you are booting just fine from you ATA flash cards USING 
the bootloader, or you are booting from PCMCIA linear flash, there is no 
reason to touch it, in fact your better off not touching it.

Now if you want a boot image to do ssh over ipv6 to load your system 
image.....thats another story.
