[c-nsp] 2800 unable to save config

[William]

Show run works correctly however it wont let me see the startup-config
(Bad address), and as I'm working remotely reloading it is last option
really.

The config isnt that abit at all, one bgp process, one eigrp process,
and a couple of trunked interfaces.

This is the output from trying to copy over the startup config to my ftp server:

%Error opening nvram:/startup-config (Bad address)
