Copy it to local bootdisk before trying. If it's hot spare 
SUP, I haven't yet found way to make it work, I've opened
case CSCsh45183 against the issue.
I lab works a-ok if I do switch-over and upgrade both SUPs when
they are active.

Try 'bootflash'.

Do you have cflash bigger than 512MB? If so, I believe it might be
the cause.
