	well, i've gotta say, check the monlib on the flash card
first.

	here's what one of my sup720's says in a 'sh disk0 all'

ATA MONLIB INFO
   Image Monlib size = 73144
   Disk monlib size = 77824
   Name = c7200-atafslib-m
   Monlib Start sector = 2
   Monlib End sector = 145
   Monlib updated by = 
   Monlib version = 1

	this is the bootstrap loader on the flash card to help the system
come up.  just like having the right partition table and bootable flags
on your lovely x86 hosts..

	one of those things to check on.  if your monlib is older on one
card, it may be worthwhile to check and reformat.  i'm sure as with all
software there have been monlib bugs too ;)
