[c-nsp] Different bootldr and system versions

[Church, Charles]

I believe that the Sup2 (or maybe it's the MSFC2) doesn't require a boot
loader at all for normal use.  It's more useful if you accidentally
deleted the system image, and you only had CatOS on the sup bootflash.
That said, you don't need the version numbers to match.

At the risk of sounding like a pest, I decided to repost this question,
simply because it didn't generate any responses.  As luck would have it,
our mail server needed to be rebooted Friday around this time, and I
don't
know if it got trashed while in the overly-full queue somehow, or if I
have really have asked too many questions over the past week or so. ;)

Thanks,

Rick
